    This was the only Memorial cent in a box of otherwise cool stuff.
    Are these about a dime a dozen? :nailbiting:

    Nice mis aligned die obv.
    Mis aligned dies are quite common, but the ones that show missing details on one side, (usually the obv). Are a little more desirable.

    As mentioned, it's a misaligned die rather than an off-center strike (since the reverse is in proper alignment). Relatively common, but that obverse is shifted enough for it to be a keeper. It's misaligned a little bit more than most I've seen.

    And now I know it's not an error.

    actually Off-Center Strikes are an error. As the "error" occurred on the Minting Press itself, not afterwards.
    But they are much more desireable more offset than that.

    I've been here alot longer than that and still have newbie moments. There's a staggering amount of knowledge around here, sometimes its like trying to drink from a firehose trying to take it in. Just relax and enjoy the process. There's not a better place you can find to learn about coins.

    Yep, it’s an error, albeit a rather minor one.
