biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 06/17/2010 11:39 pm A misaligned die is exactly what it sounds like, a coin is struck with dies that are not aligned with each other. The design is only affect on one side and it is very common. MADs do have collectible value when parts of the devices are missing such as on these nickels. The coin is struck normally in the collar. An off-center strike occurs when the collar is not in place and the planchet is not centered before being struck. Each side will be equally off center in the same direction. A coin can be off center in any direction and any percentage from 1-99%. Off-center strikes tend to be worth the most when a date is present. Report this Post to the Staff

But, if you're serious about learning, we've come to the right place! There are some great minds here that let you just poke them for free! Regarding your MAD, chances are really good that if you look at the reverse, it will be normal. In order for it to be an off-center, some of the design must be missing. The more of the design that's missing, the better! And it's bonus when you have an off-center that retains it's date (at least, I think so). Report this Post to the Staff
seal006 Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 06/17/2010 11:46 pm Yeah, I checked out MADs on the Bay, and very few are listed. There have been some get bids and sell. So there is some intrest in them, just not a lot. Report this Post to the Staff
