RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 03/31/2018 8:30 pm Can we see the other side? That would determine if it's a MAD or an off center, but yes it is a minor error. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't forget that Misaligned Dies like this one carries a small premium too! They become collectible if the letters fall off the edge. Reverse pictures will be needed to determine if it's a Misaligned Die. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 03/31/2018 10:53 pm It is quite apparent it was struck out of collar, therefore it is an off center strike! But yes, need both sides of coin when pixing ALWAYS, will help to not only determine but to see other factors as well. Edited by Crazyb0 03/31/2018 10:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
