johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 12:56 am I received this one in a collection several months ago. I'm not a big fan of the harsh cleaning, but it has decent details. Care to grade? Also, I just noticed something a little odd about this coin other than the cleaning. Does anyone else see it?

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 12:52 pm Are you talking about the position of the Eagle's tail feathers? Normally they're pointing above the "U". Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 02/08/2011 1:37 pm I'm not very good with erros or varieties; but I think this coin was possibly struck off center on the obverse? The right rim is thick and actually doubled(note the line on the rim above "RTY"). The rim is much thinner on the left side. This makes the obverse look lopsided in hand. The reverse rim on the other hand is even all the way around. Maybe this is common, but this is the first slq I've owned that has this effect. Report this Post to the Staff

Yours is not far enough misaligned to give it a premium value, but it certainly does add to the interest of the piece! Report this Post to the Staff

Is this different from "struck off center" due to the fact that it is only off on one side? Report this Post to the Staff
