Just checking through a roll and came across this one. The obv is off center but the rev seems fine. I'm unfamiliar with difference between MAD v. Off center, any thoughts on what this is?

If only one side of the coin is off center and the other side is normal, then it is a mis-aligned die. An off center happens when both sides are uncentered. Yours is a nice example of a MAD. Cool find!

@RC, first welcome to CCF. Second, for sure this nickel is worth saving in a 2x2 as parts of the letters are off the flan. Nice pick-up!
