Hello,

I was looking through a coin collection I inherited. Most answers to my questions can be found in the forum, but I could not find this particular one. If I overlooked it, I apologize.

I found an 1899 Indian Head penny, not in great shape, that seems to be punched off center. I was just curious about this error (if it's an error) or any other information anyone could give me about why this coin looks like this.

Thanks!

Not sure if it is a off-center or an uncentered broadstrike, but it IS an error coin.
