As I was trying to scan some coins, I found one of them had some sort of misaligned printing.

The picture above is a good coin when scanning both side when the prints on coin properly aligned together.

The picture above has a misaligned printing.

I tried a couple of times trying to scan this coin with design on both sides to align to each other until I notice this when I was wondering why I couldn't get straight with the other side.

So can this coin be determine as error coin? Is there any value to this coin?

Thanks.

Hi mattkasmani, to CC forum.

I think this could be considered as an error, and it depends on how common this error is to affect the value... we will wait and see what other members will say

It's a minor rotated die error. Either the hammer die or the anvil die was rotated by a few degrees. There is no premium attached to such a small rotation. You'd have to get up to about 45 degrees of rotation before any collector would show interest.
