1337marie Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 10:07 am Hello everyone! I previously posted this and got some replies that the coin was altered. I went to my local NGC dealer and his opinion without having to pay to have it authenticated was that it was a die crack. Could you all take another look to see, we were looking at the edging of the coin and the way the lettering is aligned on the obverse and the reverse led us to believe this was a minting error from the plant. Thanks again and I am linking better photos for the best opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 2:42 pm I see a reverse MAD. Coin was tilted in collar so that pressure in the 11 o'clock position on the obverse is deeper. This makes the 5. o'clock position have less press sure but offset as well. The Curved line seen is actually the die edge, not a crack. This is not an off-center strike, just misaligned. I'm sure it was loose enough to cause quite a racket, wonder what the missing operator was doing? Report this Post to the Staff
