Looked like a normal no date off center until I turned it over. The obverse shows a nice bit of LIBERTY and bust, but the reverse is quite odd. Some of UNITED is visible right where it should be, but then there is a big bunch of nothing. Coin is copper 3.1g.

My guess is that this planchet was overhanging the chamber with another planchet partially under it or over it. The dies came down and the coin ended up off center with an indent from an unstruck planchet or blank.

Did I get one right finally?

Thanks Mike! Maybe I am finally getting the hang of these error coins. Much harder than my doubled dies...
