wdpayne New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 5:36 pm This is definitely a misaligned die. I don't know what these catalog for - I don't specialize in errors. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 8:31 pm This is misaligned but to carry a premiun the alignment must be off enough that some of the design is missing. All of the letters are still showing so this coin should not carry a premium from what I have always been told. You are close but no cigar. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/27/2008 11:15 pm Quote: III-N-1 Nice, the good ol' PDS system For those that are not aware, an excellent book called The Offical Price Guide to Mint Errors by Alan Herbert classifies errors according to the PDS system- Planchet, Die, Striking. All known errors occur with respect to one of those categories. III-N-1 translates to Striking Division(III)-Misaligned and Rotated Strike Varieties(N)-Offset Die Misalignment Strike(1). For minimal value, the rim must be broken(you meet that criteria) and for better collector value, some design or lettering must be missing(nope). Report this Post to the Staff
