smat45 Pillar of the Community United States 2333 Posts	Posted 10/05/2023 9:49 pm I'm not an expert with this series...but it does look pretty cool! Out of collar strike perhaps? Better pics of the coins surface would help determine the originality. The obverse has some suspect lines indicating a possible cleaning? Could be lighting or glare though...? Looking fwd to what others have to say... Thanks for sharing! smat Edited by smat45 10/05/2023 9:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 10/05/2023 10:32 pm Hairlines across the face and neck look like a possible cleaning to me. Also the lack of cartwheel luster. Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 10/05/2023 11:34 pm Looks like a typical 5% off center strike to me except for the full double rim on the lower obverse. What does side view look like? FYI not a planchet error per se. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 07:27 am As Errers and Varietys correctly noted, this is a stiff collar error in conjunction with an uncentered broadstrike or an off-center strike. As far as which out-of-collar it is, that depends on whether you regard the denticles as part of the design. Some would regard the cutting off of the denticles as a qualifying feature of an off-center strike. Others would consider the denticles as an extension of the design rim, in which case, having them cut off would not qualify the error as an off-center strike. While I favor the latter interpretation, I'm not dogmatic on the issue. Error coin writer and researcher. Edited by mikediamond 10/06/2023 08:47 am Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 11:14 am Nice off center. Guessing it would go for 100 - 150. Report this Post to the Staff
The Regency Store Valued Member United States 103 Posts	Posted 10/06/2023 10:53 pm Going to post some close ups: Thanks for the replies. I think this coin may have been cleaned in the past but decent mint luster is on the cameo, revers looks less cleaned than the obverse, my novice opinion. Interesting how this made it out of the mint? Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 10/07/2023 12:50 am Super cool! Mint errors on classics are difficult to find, and your example is certainly in great shape for the type. Without reeding I would call that an off center broadstrike. Since none of the design elements are cut off, it is considered a minor error. Still very cool in my opinion, and something I would find enjoyment in owning. Suffering from bust half fever.
