CPChicago Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 01:08 am First, the fun half dollar. Somebody got busy stamping! Now, the one I have the question about, it's ~~off center~~ misaligned die (thank you gatzdon for the clarification) and is clearly visible to the naked eye. What do you guys think? Any premium attached to this? If anything, it's pretty nice to have and might make good trade material ... Edited by CPChicago 07/13/2007 10:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

And why is it that only Lincoln and Kennedy are always the ones with the marks on their heads? ohhhh....too soon? Report this Post to the Staff

gatzdon Valued Member United States 280 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 10:16 am I've hung onto misaligned dies for my personal collection, but I don't bother unless the design is actually impeded (aka a design element actually touching the rim). If no design element touches the rim, it's within mint specifications and is not an error. FYI: You can tell the difference between a misaligned die and an off center punch by looking at both sides. With misaligned die, only one side is off-center. With Off Center, both sides are shifted in unison. Report this Post to the Staff
CPChicago Valued Member United States 185 Posts	Posted 07/13/2007 10:17 am I realize now I should have described the first two pictures. The first one looks like crossed golf clubs, but is actually two straight lines or maybe an X, with little D shapes at the end. This D shape also appears above the dot that separates 1776 and 1976. On the reverse, there is a clear G covering the entry way of Independence Hall Report this Post to the Staff
