What seems odd to me about this one is that the obverse is quite noticeably off center but the reverse only minutely so. I'm at a loss to explain this discrepancy between the two sides.   *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! ***Colligo ergo sum

Maybe a slight off center with a misaligned die. Not sure on this. Can the hammer die be out of alignment from the anvil die? Causing a less of center on one side? I'm sure someone will have a clear answer on this one.

I'll agree that this coin is an off center strike, with an additional misaligned hammer die.

Not a hundred dollar coin but definitely a little premium for this one.

I guess this would be categorized as an extreme mis-aligned die, but it's a cool coin in any event.

I decided to Google extremely misaligned die coin after you posted coinfrog and this is the first thing that pops up on Google now when you look that up. I always though misaligned die only had to do with the amount of pressure on one post being higher or lower then the other post. I never thought of looking up a coin with just the hammer die off center.

That's a great MAD. Hands down one of the strongest out there on a Lincoln. Put it in a nickel 2x2 so you can show off the error better.

Well, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't recognize this for what it was, but in my defense errors aren't a priority for me, so I'm somewhat underinformed regarding the various types.
I'd suppose that a press could run at full speed with a misaligned die, so quite a few might be struck before the condition was recognized and corrected. On that basis, they ought not be too uncommon?
