Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7055 Posts	Posted 10/27/2019 11:31 pm "Off-centered" is used when both sides of the coin is affected. Yours is a slight MAD. On the mint mark its reffered to as a broken post (that center part breaks off the die, to give the mm a filled in look)...best of luck on future finds and good questions, keep asking and keep searching, have fun Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/29/2019 9:34 pm Actually all the quarters look like that this year. They were needing a new master die. In 1983 they replaced the master hub. Note how the devices were moving to the rim, and then in 1983 the new master hub fixed the issue. Machine Doubling would make the strike look off center: So here are the two years side by side: You can see where the devices look larger on the 1982 quarter. (note how the bust is larger?)
