Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 09:19 am Thinking it might qualify as an uncentered broadstrike. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 11:50 am Thanks for the great comments! And yes, while I just said broadstruck the full definition for the coin would be uncentered broadstrike. It just seemed a bit obvious that it was uncentered. And about switching from Lincolns, no I am not. I just buy error collections when I get a chance and they don't have just Lincolns in them. This one had more Kennedy halves I think than anything else, but also some pretty strong foreign off center coins and other whatnot. Just going through the quarters now and filtering what I want to keep vs what I have been selling off on the bay. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 4:58 pm Since the R and T of LIBERTY are cut off, this coin qualifies as an off-center strike. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 03/04/2023 8:31 pm Hi Mike! I debated with myself for a bit about whether that qualified as an off center. I compared the top of the B with the top of the R and felt that while you can't see the top of the R it was not cut off. Then comparing the T and Y I kind of came to the same conclusion. The top crossbars appear to be more gone from distortion than gone from falling off the coin, with the physical tops of the letters defined by little lumpy footballs, which are visible on all the devices. Great to hear a more experienced diagnosis than mine, as some days I'm just making it up as I go along. Report this Post to the Staff
