brixxx27 Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 2:49 pm I found this penny that has my birth date. and always verified even though they are not a key date. this particularly caught my attention because it looks smaller than a normal penny. This penny is an off center. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2013 3:00 pm If it were an off center, the reverse would show the same strike off set. It is a MAD coin. (Miss-Aligned-Die) The hammer die is adjustable, the anvil die is stationary. This when the alignment isn't correct, the hammer die makes a coin like yours. Almost a collectable. When the devices fall over the edge, interest is there with a premium. But yours is just a close. Almost Collectable: Collectable: Note on the reverse the weakness of the devices because of the lack of pressure in that area? Report this Post to the Staff
