lucleus Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 01:41 am While reading about the off center quarter I realized that I had the same error on a copper penny. Looking at it for a 2nd time I noticed the line running NE from the chest. What do I have here? http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums...IMG_0864.jpg http://i1227.photobucket.com/albums...IMG_0866.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 02:02 am It is a MAD cent. The obverse die is not centered above the reverse die. What makes it collectable if the devices falling over the edge of the coin. Nice find! Edited by coop 03/22/2011 02:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 02:21 am MAD instead of off center. The coin is not rotated. It is hit where it was supposed to in the incorect position. The reverse will always be centered, obverse can be adjusted. When a coin is off center it is a broadstruck coin. (The collar was not in place.) If the planchet is not in the correct place the coin can be broadstruck centered or broadstruck off centered. Centered, slightly larger than normal. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...STRUCK_1.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...RED_JFIT.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...s_Stamps.jpg Uncentered: https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...K_DOLLAR.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...anosan1_.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ANKLEONE.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...ster_125.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...r_Nickel.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

lucleus Valued Member United States 165 Posts	Posted 03/22/2011 7:50 pm I had no idea until I read that post on here that they were rare. Very exciting. Thanks for helping me to understand what I found and the significance of each piece as I find them. I wish it could be more. Report this Post to the Staff
