Girlinlove Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 07/12/2024 11:49 pm Hello. I was looking at this 1945 S Wheat penny and noticed that the rim at the top looks bigger than the bottom... would it be considered off center strike? Is it worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96477 Posts	Posted 07/12/2024 11:56 pm This is either a MAD (Mis-Aligned Die) of a slight off-center strike. Cannot be certain without seeing the reverse side of the coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74380 Posts	Posted 07/13/2024 01:01 am No premium for the Misaligned Die, since it's too minor. Your coin is only worth a few cents, since it's a Wheat cent. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Exactly, no numismatic premium above the few cents for this being a well-circulated, later-date Wheat cent. Glad to see your posts!
