I found this Lincoln Cent going through my first box from the bank. I showed it to my uncle and we believe it is a misstrike of some sort, but we're not sure what to call it.

The left side of the cent has a very wide rim whilst the right side has no rim at all.

misaligned die (MAD) or off-center if both sides are like that.

I have found several of these also.

At what point do they become "savable"?

When the rim gets extremely thin, or when its totally gone, or a certain percentage off center?
