Picked this up on ebay recently, I love the amount of stretching on this coin, one of the further ones I've seen. Dishing looks pretty dramatic too.

Just wanted to show it off

Looks like the reverse was struck through a capped die

Edit: wonder if it was struck with this one - looks suspiciously similar! http://goccf.com/t/372460

No, it was struck into a second planchet. This is called a uniface off center strike. The planchet that it was struck onto, went on its own way.

I believe stretch strikes are fairly common among nickels due to the planchet thickness and striking pressure needed for the nickel alloy.

Here's a second uniface stretch strike I got recently on an LMC

What a great coin! It's a shame the date isn't fully legible though

I love how recent the nickel is for such a dramatic error, though.
