chugly Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 5:22 pm I see a slight MAD (MisAligned Die). Quite common and no added value until it begins to cut into the design. Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 5:24 pm OK I have the MAD part but how does it happen I thought the collar held the coin in place. Report this Post to the Staff
Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 5:26 pm Assuming the reverse looks normal, it is a misaligned die, and yes they are common as you said and do not have any additional value unless it cuts into the devices as chugly stated. If the reverse is off in the same direction, it is just a minor off-center. Occasionally, you will see the reverse misaligned in a different direction. Report this Post to the Staff
yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 5:28 pm thats why the reverse is centered the observe strikes and if it dont hit the coin dead center you get a MAD Report this Post to the Staff
nohope587 Pillar of the Community United States 5953 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 5:35 pm But if this is the case the Die would have to be smaller than the diameter of the collar. Otherwise the die would be damaged if it was misaligned. I don't wish to sound dumb but I have no knowledge of reeded edge coins. So if I understand correctly the raised rim of the coin is formed by the metal between the die and the collar? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/10/2011 7:13 pm The obverse die (hammer)is adjustable. When the alighnment isn't correct, then the obverse can be affected. It will still have the reeding and the reverse is centered. Thus the term Miss-Aligned-Die. Report this Post to the Staff
