commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12250 Posts	Posted 05/19/2021 09:12 am @shieldm1: I would agree with the mis-aligned die (MAD) comment from Spence, it does appear your coin is a minor MAD coin. A MAD coin occurs when the hammer die (the die that moves and physically strikes the planchet in the chamber) is mis-aligned relative to the anvil die which is stationary and strikes the opposite side of the coin. Coins that show the mis-alignment on one side only are MAD coins; if a coin's obverse and reverse sides both appear off of proper center alignment, the coin is considered an off-center (O/C) coin. MAD coins are fairly common and don't carry much of a price premium, especially when their mis-alignment is relatively minor (like on your coin). True O/C coins are far less common and can be worth a strong premium. Regardless, "Congrats!" on the find!. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.
