mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 1:25 pm I found this nickel in the reject slot of my banks coin counting machine. I assumed MADs had a normal strike on one side. I do not think this is PMD. There is also a faint line going most of the way around the rim. What are your opinions? Thanks MM2 Edited by mountainman 2 03/15/2020 1:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74811 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 1:50 pm Coinfrog, actually, that's a Misaligned Die. Not an Off Center Strike. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 6:24 pm The reverse doesn't look normal to me. The obverse looks like a MAD but don't know what's up with the reverse. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74811 Posts	Posted 03/15/2020 7:40 pm John1, that's how the reverses look like on all major Misaligned Dies. The weakness is showing on the reverse, because of the severely Misaligned Die. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
