Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCbass Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 06:28 am Good point, but if it was a MAD wouldn't one side of the coin be normal and just one side off center? It looks like the whole coin was struck slightly off center. I don't know though. Ha Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 08:10 am This is a MAD. The reverse die was the anvil die with the collar around it. There is some clearance between the collar and the anvil die so the two dies were against each other on one side causing the reverse to be uncentered. The weakness on the right side of the reverse is because of the obverse (hammer die) being offset. There is not detail going over the side of the coin to be considered a collectable MAD but I would still keep it. Edited by pyrbob 10/23/2013 08:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
