My first misaligned die strike. It is a little bit on the beat up side  but my keeper example till something better comes along.   EDIT: Added "Minor" to header. Second EDIT: Changed header to add "Partial Collar" Edited by levelsofmadnes 06/15/2019 3:52 pm

Thanks for the pic , I actually meant a pic of what you might call the side of the coin in that area.

Hello stoneman227, Here is a pic of the left side of the MAD area.

Again, thanks! What I am wondering is , does the reeding on the edge of the coin beside the word Pluribus look normal, or does it look as though it stops before it reaches the reverse.

Thats it, thanks. Looks normal. The incuse letters of EPU that ended up close to the edge of the coin have elongated as if they were machine doubled. The effect is radiating from the center of the coin so it's not MDind but the spread of the coin metal when struck. Interesting. Had never noted this before on an off center or MAD coin.

Thanks for adding the other pics ! I see now the reeding is not normal. I thought it might be a partial collar strike in addition to a MAD strike that caused the letters of EPU to radiate out like that . Excellent find !

Thanks coop and stoneman227 I would have never noticed this if you didn't ask for edge pictures.  Putting together a pictionary of coins; makes for easier learning.
