It's probably not worth keeping or worrying about, but I figure I might as well ask about it. Report this Post to the Staff

They dont carry a premium in most cases,, Rick Report this Post to the Staff

I didn't figure they would be worth that much, but this one was so close to the edge I figured I'd ask. I'll keep an eye out for the elusive ones that are offset halfway across the coin.

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/30/2006 01:53 am That the obverse is misaligned and the reverse is not is the key to identifying this anomaly. The planchet was sitting properly in the collar or the edge of the coin would not be smooth - so it is not a partial collar strike. It's actually a misaligned die strike, and Wayne is correct in that it is very common. Report this Post to the Staff
