Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 2:25 pm I just received this 1897 Liberty nickel. The top of the reverse is interesting. I'm not sure if the coin was struck with a misaligned die or if the reverse is slightly off-center. What do people think? Thanks for your opinions. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/03/2015 6:30 pm If this coin is of proper rotation, the dies are misaligned - the wide spot is at the same place on the clock meaning if rotation is correct both dies are off. The collar holds the coin in the right spot. This would be off-center if medal orientation. Report this Post to the Staff
