coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 10:45 am Slight off center on the one side, so it is a MAD (Mis-Aligned-Die) issue on the obverse die. Not enough MAD to get a premium, but not off center either. (as only one side is affected) Just a normal coin. Devices need to fall over the edge of the coin before there is a premium for this one.

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7508 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 10:49 am ERROR-REF.COM Quote: Vertically Misaligned Die Error (Tilted Die Error) Definition: A die or the entire die assembly can fall out of adjustment so that the two opposing die faces are no longer parallel. The tilted die will strike the planchet at an angle. One pole will be very well struck while the opposite pole will show little or no design. The pole that is well struck will show a very strong design rim and often finning of the rim. The opposite pole will retain the original proto-rim of the unstruck planchet. Extreme tilted die errors usually show a horizontal misalignment as well. That's because when a die tilts down, it also tilts in. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2022 6:13 pm Looking again at this coin: 1. Note the reverse die has a clash mark on ONE CENT area. 2. Note the obverse die state is very fresh. So this looks like the a new obverse die was installed onto the setup, thus the alignment is not setup at that time. It was out, so that is why your coin looks like that. MAD example as mentioned. Edited by coop 03/30/2022 6:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
