canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 08/11/2023 06:18 am Is there a technical term for this, where the rim tapers/disappears from one side to the other. Also, is it just me because the P kind of looks like mms 3 over mms 2 based on V.V. Pics. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 08/11/2023 06:47 am Yep, there is, in fact depending on the relationship between the obverse and reverse, we have 2 terms. 1. and off center strike, and 2. a MAD Strike (a Miss-Aligned Die) an off center strike both side will be off to the side, with a MAD Strike only one side (usually the obverse) will not be centered. Yours is a MAD Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin 7070 type set coin count: 51/76 Uncirculated American Silver Eagles My American Silver Eagle Proof Collection Sacagawea Dollars Innovation Dollars Eisenhower-Dollars Kennedy-Half Dollars Washington-Quarters Roosevelt-Dimes Buffalo-Nickels 1938-2005 Jefferson-Nickels Lincoln-Cents Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/11/2023 07:48 am Perfect explanation @dear! This is a nice example of a MAD--when the letters start to fall off the edge then there may be additional numismatic value.
