1977 D Jefferson nickel, nice little misaligned die. I didn't set the pics up correctly but the reverse is about 5 degrees off counter clockwise.   Edited by Jim0815 04/26/2021 7:17 pm

That has to be, by far, the wildest MAD I've ever seen.

 with that. There must be a lot of space in those minting presses for a die to move that far out of alignment.

I've seriously never seen anything like it. I would have made a big bet, just looking at the obverse, that it was O/C.

Coinfrog, I am more impressed with you being impressed than I am about the coin itself. As long as you have looked at coins, that says a whole lot.

To have the date and mintmark fully legible is a nice bonus!

I'm kinda like Coinfrog, I haven't seen one as extreme as this one.

That obverse is almost in a different zip code! Good one indeed.

I thought I already had one for that year, but the one that was submitted to me was a 1975-D  But just just as strong.
