John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 1:59 pm I think it's call off center http://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-P-Off-...047675.l2557 John1 Report this Post to the Staff
BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 2:32 pm Seeing the weakness of the strike on the reverse, I'm inclined to say MAD (Misaligned Die) Due to the offset of the obverse the reverse didn't have the support to be fully struck Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 3:02 pm I am starting to think you might be right BlueSolo. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

eagle_eye_18 Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 3:33 pm I agree with MAD. If it was off center both sides would be off. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 07:56 am In %,what % is the OP's dime off? 15%? What is the max % a MAD can achieve? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 10:39 am Max? I've seen one example (but don't have an image of) that was even stronger. But I would think a strong one like this one is in the 15% range. Report this Post to the Staff
