Girlinlove Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 11/05/2024 10:56 pm So I'm not to familiar with the misaligned die where obverse and reverse aren't the same....what's it called? And the lines around edge of obverse...I heard it called something but can't remember.... And there is also no words on the edge of the coin. Do I have something here or wishful thinking?

Girlinlove - sorry, that's perfectly normal: the Sacagawea dollars issued between 2000 and 2008 all have a plain edge. If the obverse and reverse dies are misaligned and not at exactly 180 degrees to one another, you could try photographing the coin held between two fingers with one side reflected in a mirror (difficult) or put the coin in a 2x2 and aligning one side so it's perfectly straight and then photographing both sides in the 2x2: then any die rotation should be clear.

Girlinlove Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 06:15 am What I meant to say was I knew it was an error and thought it was misaligned die I just wanted to make sure I had terminology correct. Ok so if obverse and reverse aren't the same it's misaligned die strike....is it still called that when it's just one side? And an off center strike is when the strike is so off to one side that part of coin isn't even there? Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6464 Posts	Posted 11/10/2024 09:21 am Off center is both coin faces in the same direction and approximately the same distance. The most common cause for that is the planchet being off center in the striking chamber. Misaligned die is when only one of the faces is shifted. https://www.lincolncentforum.com/mi...ter-strikes/ Report this Post to the Staff
