NDCENT Pillar of the Community United States 530 Posts	Posted 11/25/2019 6:45 pm WOW! That is a MAD coin, Misalighned Dye. I really like it because yours is actually missing some of the lettering on the reverse and a little of the year on the obverse.Definitely a KEEPER! Congrats... Report this Post to the Staff

It also shows the obverse die had some collar clash, seen just over the TY of LIBERTY, or in the K:2 position. This coin either circulated for some time or it was someone's pocket piece, because it shows quite a bit of cirulation wear and even some damage. Nice find.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2019 3:03 pm Only the hammer die is adjustable. So it the coin is not in the collar, both sides can be struck out of collar and off center. So it is an off center. No reeds because it was not in the collar. Slight bent so it was probably above the collar with the anvil die with the obverse die. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/26/2019 3:52 pm So a MAD can only happen on one side of the same coin? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2019 3:57 pm Correct. Only the hammer die is adjustable. The anvil die is stationary. If not aligned over the anvil die, then MAD coins are created. If it is out of adjustment for a long time, the sides of the die can be shaved off and create a die attrition error: Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/27/2019 08:16 am No, MAD's can affect both sides, and it is possible to have a coin showing a MAD on both sides and in different directions. The theng is the anvil die, since it is restrained within the collar, can never be more than slightly mis-aligned. Report this Post to the Staff
