Kfseadog Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 01/25/2017 3:13 pm This 2-cent piece looks slightly off center. Negligible? The reverse is centered correctly, it's only the obverse that's slightly off. Also, what's with the extra copper above the T? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 6:33 pm Looks like around the rim at 7:00 through 10:00 position, there is the beginnings of a partial collar error, which I find kind of cool, however, as to the misaligned die strike, it's not a very collected or valuable error, just neat, to some collectors, like me! I agree with Condor101 as to the hit above the T in TRUST, not extra metal. just a nick. Rarely does one see extra metal errors in the Two Cent series, more likely (on higher grade pieces) you can find improper alloy mixes, which is evidenced by streaking of color in the planchet (the cent collectors call these "woodies").

Kfseadog Valued Member United States 50 Posts	Posted 01/30/2017 4:16 pm Interesting info. I thought it was just worn/smashed in that quadrant, but I'm glad you pointed it out. Here's a close up of that area - remnants of letters (multiple strike?) behind G and O. Edited by Kfseadog 01/30/2017 4:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
