tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 12:27 am One of the larger offsets I've seen on a mis-aligned die coin. The coin also appears to have a tilted partial collar but there is rather a bit of damage to the rims so don't really want to call it that as it's not really clear one way or the other. 1989 Lincoln Memorial cent mint error - mis-aligned dies Report this Post to the Staff

Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 09:30 am I bid on these when I see them. I've yet to win one. I saw a Lincoln slightly more dramatic than this sell for over $100 Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 10:39 am A rather nice example. I noticed use of the term "misaligned dies", phrasing often seen on grading service slabs. Really, it should be "misaligned die", as only one die is misaligned. Use of the term "misaligned dies" is only justified when both dies are misaligned (dual or bifacial misalignment). Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 09/23/2022 11:34 am Thanks folks! And Mike, I am in agreement but with a caveat. In this case it is knowable that just one die is out of alignment, so "misaligned die" is accurate. But when associating the alignment of two things, generally one is talking about them in relationship to each other. As such "misaligned dies" should also be correct, just with less specificity, since the dies do not line up with each other. Report this Post to the Staff
