DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 2:27 pm Probably not a big deal coin, but the first error my newbie self can identify as a mint error. Are these pretty common? The last pic is to show true color of penny - not sure why it looks yellow with my phone pics. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 2:31 pm Off center coin. Not a MAD (Mis-Aligned-Die issue) What does the edge look like. I'm wondering if it is a partial collar because of the last image? Report this Post to the Staff
DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 2:37 pm Hey Coop - thanks for the quick response! The side that runs off the edge is smooth with no "lip", and thinner than the side with the lip. Hope that helps, I can try to get pics of the edge if needed. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 2:43 pm I'm looking for something like this: It the coin had reeds on the edge (your wouldn't) the reeds would be interrupted on the edge of the coin. Edited by coop 03/04/2020 2:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 2:48 pm No, edges are smooth all around. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 2:51 pm Just an off center then. Is the coin bent at all? I wondered it the collar created the incuse area on the WE TRUST area? Report this Post to the Staff

DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 3:01 pm Here is the lipped edge.. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 3:04 pm Pretty much normal then. But if not bent, it is or original feeling. 'Off center strike'. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 3:06 pm Nice find. Check ebay sold values for an idea on how common and current value. In coops photos,the first one with the nickel...Never Hold Coins Like That John1 Report this Post to the Staff
DeadElvis Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 3:17 pm Thanks John, Coop. One last rim shot - coin is not bent.. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2020 3:23 pm It might have take a hit on the area in question during the strike, without bending the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
