I'm horrible when it comes to these types of variety/errors. I assume misalignment as the obverse doesn't exhibit the same misalignment? The obverse rim is flattened where the misalignment occurred on the reverse.   |

Sure looks misaligned to me. Border line rolling off the edge. Sure is kissing it. Check the diameter or compare to other cents. If not out of round then MAD. Think the weakness on the obverse rim is do to the big Rim Fin effect on the reverse. Again check the diameter. Thanks, Doug. |

It is slightly larger when compared to a non circulated 2015 cent.

That is a MAD coin. First one I've seen with the opposite side affected. The mint changed the die position and probably they are over looked with the MAD on the reverse. Nice catch on this one.
The weakness on the obverse from 2:00-4-00 is from the misalignment during the strike.

This is a MAD cent, or misalingned die. If it were off center, both sides would be affected. Keeper for sure  |

It seems to me that MAD's are much more common with the error showing on the obverse. This looks like the anvil was misaligned. I think you might have an uncommon error there! Experts?  |

Buddy, More food for thought - Coop made reference above, Quote:
Mike Diamond - 07-31-2011 Beginning in 1992 (at the Denver branch), the Mint started experimenting with using the reverse die as the hammer die. This setup gradually became more common until it was the predominant setup in 2002. Changeover was complete (at least for business strikes) by 2005. So all coins, except proofs, are struck with an "inverted" die setup.
So, if you were going to have a misaligned die error on a 2010 cent, it would be on the reverse face. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st

Thanks for the info.
Does this just apply to cents? or ALL the coins?

All coins from that time forward. So we can't just think it is the obverse. Previous to this they were Hammer-Obverse and Anvil-Reverse. So as far a I know they have reversed this. (perhaps some other denominations changed on different years) But look for the MAD ones on the opposite side that fall over the devices. (that makes them collectable) Not a big thing if they don't fall over the edge of the coin.

Thanks coop.
I thought perhaps the change might have been because of all the design changes that were scheduled for the cent reverses. I thought that perhaps the new designs might have done better in the hammer position -- but if it was for all coins....then that wasn't the reason.

Thanks everyone for the information. I was a little confused as I regularly see the misalignment on the obverse. I guess this one won't leave the collection any time soon.

The reverse MAD definitely threw me off s most MAD seem to be on the obverse but as Coop pointed out I guess I will have to start looking at the reverse when CRH cents in the future.  Edited by jack jeckel

Hmm, coop, I've found a handful of misaligned obverse 1999D and 2000D cents. You say in post-1992 they are reverse?
