MayaLo New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 3:57 pm Hello everyone. Thank you for looking at my coin. I found this cent in change. It seemed unusual to me. I see an offset from the center and also a strip of metal cutting through the portrait. Is this a technical production? And could it be of interest to lovers of such marriages? I specially took several photos from different angles. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21589 Posts	Posted 01/08/2025 4:33 pm The " offset" is caused by a misaligned die but is still within spec. The line as stated is a linear plating bubble, quite common on post 1982 1/2 cents. No added value for either one. Report this Post to the Staff
