Found this today roll hunting. What do you think? Is the rim wide enough to be considered off center? The pics aren't the best, but they show enough to do their job. Let me know what your opinions are. Personally I'm guessing it's off-center.   |

Could you provide us with a pic of the reverse, please? It could be a MAD if only the obverse is involved.

If the reverse is normal then it's a MAD. Fun to find; no premium value unless some of the devices are missing. Since your coins has been deeply wounded and is turning green.....  Well, at least it's copper. If it's your first MAD, keep it until you find a better one.  |

I know Lincoln looks like he got in a knife fight or something lol. Still worth more than a cent due to the copper value and a minor error. Scratch that, this probably my second error find. I have a 1942 Wheat cent with a good size grease-filled die area on the reverse. I should post it. |

I pull all 72 cents to look at in a row at the end of each box and I don't know what was up with that year, but every other one seems to be misaligned. Found a lot of the master die doubling, but that is it so far. I think 50% of the year have that though haha

 jimnmisty02 Here's some info. on off-center strikes: http://www.error-ref.com/?s=off-center+strikeThere are a lot of coins that are somewhat less than perfect but not error coins. Keep hunting -- there's stuff to be found out there. |

  This one of any significance, or just neat? Thank you! I don't know much about coins, but I tend to collect the odd, bent, discolored ones. |

MAD. I looks like it was struck through a tilted die, leaving a fin and then it flattened at 2:00-5:00. It is a copper cent if you are saving them. But nothing real special about the coin.

Slight MAD (Misaligned Die). No extra value except for copper melt value.
Errers and Varietys.
