tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 01/09/2019 8:26 pm So got a couple off centers given to me today. Went through a lot of them recently and they have all been pretty straight forward. Now this one, hmmmm. At first it looks like brockage on the reverse, but it's perfectly oriented to the obverse so seems more likely it's part of the design from the die. So, an off center struck through a late stage die cap? Help me out as I do not know what is going on here. Thanks!

CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 01/09/2019 8:35 pm I think your right about the reverse being a late stage die cap. Again, I'm no expert so I might be wrong. Either way it's a great pickup! Happy hunting! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff
ty88ty2 Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 01/09/2019 10:18 pm Great find! Looks high relief so we can get a date range of 1959-1968. Unless there is some unique marker, about the closest we'll get in that field, not that it matters too much. Report this Post to the Staff
