In case you don't see what I'm talking about, I colorized only that: Here it is x200: Edited by brefos77 03/04/2008 12:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2008 4:33 pm Looks like a MAD (Miss-Aligned-Die). The reverse should be normal, dead center. If it is an off center, the reverse should be out of alignment the same. Interesting to find. I keep them for educational purposes. Report this Post to the Staff

brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 03/04/2008 4:41 pm You are correct, the reverse is dead center. Coop, do you want it for further education or do you have enough of them? Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/04/2008 7:08 pm Those things are very common on Licoln Cents in the 80's for some reason. I used to save those in my error collection untill I realized I would end up with hundreds of them. I checked with https://www.coppercoins.com a long time ago about those effects and was sort of told no big thing. That's when I noticed there are a lot of those. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2008 12:21 pm Thanks for the offer, but I already have several. Save it for a new collector and explain to him what it is. Sometimes a coin that is different, but common to you may spark the interest of a new collector. Report this Post to the Staff
