mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 7:47 pm Hope these pictures are ok. Is this a misstrike? I think it looks a little off to me. It looks smoothed out on the right side of the obverse, and the reverse has a double border on the right and part of the "U" in United is cut off a tiny bit. Any help is appreciated as I am still learning about coins. Report this Post to the Staff

mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 8:36 pm It was a coin roll find. I would have posted the find in that thread, but I was mainly looking to see if it was just damaged or struck that way. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 8:40 pm Since it's even both sides is a genuine off center strike about a 4% off center. Nice in the wild find! Report this Post to the Staff
Broken-Coin Pillar of the Community United States 1812 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 9:26 pm It looks like a misaligned reverse die.. Report this Post to the Staff
mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 10:27 pm Is there any value to something like this, or is it too minor? I plan on keeping it either way. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/19/2017 10:48 pm Off Center both sides going in the same direction. I am sure you could get a few bucks for it on ebay, The reverse is really noticeable & cool looking even though it is only a small percentage off. Terrific find mail187man Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 11:32 am Uncentered broadstrike. Not an off-center because none of the design is missing. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 3:26 pm Thank you for the correction Condor had to look it up at http://www.error-ref.com/?s=broad+strike "To qualify as an uncentered broadstrike, the design must be fully present on both faces. If the design is cut off at the edge on one or both faces, it is an off-center strike." Report this Post to the Staff
mail187man Valued Member United States 265 Posts	Posted 04/20/2017 9:16 pm At least it's still an error. I didn't knowingly have once before this. Report this Post to the Staff
