aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 06/19/2016 08:48 am The reverse looks ok. So, I'm guessing from your question that if only one side of the coin is affected, then it is a mis-aligned die. Interesting. Is there any value to MAD? Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/19/2016 09:08 am There is only value to a misaligned die when the devices are affected. Yours falls right into that category. There was just a thread where a guy found one with his son. Here's the link https://goccf.com/t/263141 Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/19/2016 09:49 am I agree. The left side of the reverse is weak because of the miss-alignment of the hammer die. When you see this weakness opposite the off center obverse, then it is a collectable. Sometimes there are no devices that fall over the edge because of location of the devices on the coin. But you will see the weakness on the opposite side of the obverse offset area. So seeing this weakness assures us that it is collectable. Report this Post to the Staff
