lawest Pillar of the Community United States 1998 Posts	Posted 01/08/2022 12:51 pm Hammer die (OBV) horizontally misaligned at nine o'clock. Anvil die horizontally misaligned at three o'clock. When I first saw the photos on the listing I thought this was an off-center strike with die rotation... but there is no die rotation. I believe it to be horizontally dual misaligned dies. Any feedback is appreciated. https://www.error-ref.com/dual-misa...f-both-dies/ Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 01/11/2022 08:33 am Okay, then. The collar was roomy enough to allow a slight lateral shift of the anvil die. The absence of the design rim on the left is most likely due to the decreased expansion of the planchet in this area owing to the obverse misalignment toward the right. Dual misalignments in which the design struck by the anvil die is cut off requires that the coin be broadstruck. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
