robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 4:47 pm I've been collecting Indian cent errors since the late 80's. I've been down to just needing 5 dates with errors on them for a few years, and I just checked 1874 off the list. This one is 40% off enter, VG8-details, Graffiti. It ties my 1865 for being the most off center I have. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25037 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 5:46 pm robbudo, that's fantastic! The "graffiti" is not a distraction at all - I would have thought it was just scratches. Congratulations on your acquisition. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95231 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 7:13 pm Very nice off center, I'm glad the mint was nice enough to make sure the date was showing and up right. But is it the lighting or am I seeing a silvery color on the rims? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5823 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 8:43 pm Having full date on a off center makes it more appealing. Nice indeed! Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 04/08/2023 9:22 pm Thanks for the comments all. Yes - it's in an ANACS slab which was placed over the dark blue surface. I intend on breaking it free. I saw the "Graffiti" noted on the slab before I saw the coin - and was expecting so much worse. Report this Post to the Staff
