Found this while roll searching today. Would it be considered an error or is it within tolerance? (still haven't found any silver, buffalos, liberty's, etc). Thanks!  |

its cut off a little bit so I guess it could be an off center

I would certainly call that "off-center". Not sure of the percentage...2.5%?

I'd keep it. Nice nickel.

Is the reverse the same or is it centered ?

Looks worth hanging on to but would not get a large premium.

If the reverse is centered, it is most likely an uncentered broadstrike. If the reverse is off center like the obverse, then it's as stated, about 2.5% OC. Nice find.

The reverse is centered, however, it is rotated (less than 90 degrees).

check the edge, I've seen nickels like this that are partial collars as well

if the diameter is the same size as a normal nickel its not an uncentered broadstrike, it could possibly be a misaligned die

It's a misaligned die error. If the reverse is significantly rotated, as you seem indicate, then it's a nice combination of a misaligned die error and rotated die error.

Yea, misaligned dies are rediculously common in Jefferson nickels they pop up all the time roll searching. -XoG |
