Not too sure might be a Partial collar? Misaligned die? The experts will be along then we will both find out.  Edited by Dar

Is the diameter the same as a regular cent?

Still learning collar issues. Surely off center. Maybe partial or stiff collar strike. Unless my eyes are playing tricks again, it appears the rim flows past the coins circumference of the collar, but still has a complete rim. Does the reverse show more?

Yes, diameter is the same as a normal cent - reverse however is not outstanding in any way (compared to obverse). Merely picking pre-'82 cents from pocket change & this jumped out @ me.  Edited by zookr

Looks like the front and back are off center. Off center coins affect obverse and reverse.
IF it was a MAD ( Misaligned Die), only one side would be affected.
In order for the coin to gain extra premiums, some of the devices (lettering, numbers and figures)would have to be missing, or fallen off the edge. This is a mild off center, maybe 5% or so.
If this is put in a 2x2 Mylar and flipped over, I wonder if the die rotation is off?
If you put Lincoln heads up and flip it over the Memorial Building should be straight up as well.

It is a collar clash. An interesting one. Mike Diamond might be interested in this one. Not one exactly that I've seen before?

(or the reverse is rotated about 140 degrees) It IS possible for the anvil die to be misaligned, but the amount of possible misalignment is restricted because the anvil die is restrained within the collar.

It does have a rather interesting look. From this remote vantage point, I'd posit we have a combination of a minor misaligned die together with finning. MADs, finning, and even collar clash can all occur together within the same error. Coincidentally, I'm submitting a Coin World column today on "double rim effects". It will come out next week. Error coin writer and researcher.

Ok, the rotation isn't off that much, very minor. Usually when something goes amuck with a coin, some times a lot of thigs can happen, like a die rotation gone wild. This one is like 15 degrees or so off, not a big deal. I have seen others like this coin with up to 165 degrees off, and only one near 180 off. In any event,
Nice find !

It is not really a premium coin, you might get $1-2 on ebay for it. |
