My Galaxy was destroyed last night and lost all my good quality pictures. Now using a horrible phone momentarily. I am very new to coin collecting, started a couple months ago. Eager to learn and have found many interesting coins I would like to post eventually. Report this Post to the Staff

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:29 pm The FG initials are still there, I can see them plain as day. This is not a broadstrike, this is a Misaligned Die. Edited by SilverCents 05/31/2020 9:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:31 pm @iKunfewzed, first welcome to CCF. Second, I see evidence of a slightly mis-aligned die on the front of this coin. Not so much on it being a broad strike though. Can you please tell us the diameter of this coin? Thx.

iKunfewzed New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:36 pm @Silver Cents, I may be blind then. I tuly dont see it. @Spence how do I get the diameter? I figured I used the wrong term (broadstrike). Only 2 answers I founf on google was that or offcenter. I need to look up mis-aligned die. Thanks you both for replying. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:40 pm It's all good, sometimes we miss spots on the coin. Just scan over it too quickly. You can get the diameter by taking a ruler, and simply measuring the length of the coin, the diameter. Not sure how else to describe it. Off center is when both sides are simultaneously misaligned. A misaligned die is when one side is. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19127 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 9:42 pm I'm seeing a misaligned die and pretty good evidence (given the reverse photo posted) that the FG is there--not bold and razor sharp, but present.. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 05/31/2020 10:46 pm to the CCF! for the coin to be "No FG" it has to be totally smooth in the field next to the base of the monument. It you see any raise metal where the letters should be, it fails the requirement of being "No FG." ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
