Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 8:35 pm I was looking through some pennies and saw this. It looks like the end of the two is smaller than it should be...And kinda a shadow that follows the shape of the 2.....do I have anything?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 10:00 pm It is a MAD coin. (Miss-Aligned-Die) The obverse die is adjustable and when the die is not right over center, the alignment will be more to one side than another. Normal coins unless the alignment places the devices over the edge of the obverse. Reverse is just normal right? Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 3:01 pm The end of the 2 was flattened after the coin left the mint. There are only two date sizes for 1982 cents, and this one is a normal large date. The misaligned die part is normal too - they are very common. Report this Post to the Staff
