Hi, this is just a carry over from my last post on the Lamination Flaws.
Nancyc spotted a off centre strike on the 1966 20ct! I can't really see it!

Is this coin here a Off Centre Strike? Thanks jpl..

Yes. Take a photo of the reeding on the edges because it may be a partial collar error.

It certainly is! Now, have a real good look at the entire edge, is it milled all the way around, like this one:

If it looks like that one, it's a 'normal' off centre coin, and may bring a small premium.

However, keep your eyes peeled for any edges that look like this:
Out of Collar edge, these two are called 'partial straight collar', but Partial tilted collars also occur.

Coins like this are fairly uncommon and depending on the condition may be worth as much as a couple hundred $$'s.

This is a great site to look for different error types:

This is a partial tilted collar:
