    One of these days it would be nice to find one of these with a date.
    I would guestimate that it is about 90% off center.

    How did that ever get through the sorter if there is such a thing.

    These usually went from Ballistic bags, filled at the mint to smaller bags for sale. These off centers rarely made it to a mechanical sorter or rolling machine, if they did they were minor.

    Did you find that? I agree that one with a date would be preferable, but if you found that (in a bag? surely not in circulation?), it's an extra cool find for sure.

    No I didn't find it. I was just explaining how these are found.
    To find these type of errors I believe you have to go back about 20 years. Quality control at the mints (computerized) seems to snag many of these cool errors.

    And here’s a really nice one. Both strikes show the date and mint mark clearly. Just keep looking and one day you’ll find a double strike with a date.

    They go through a "riddler" which is a sliding metal grate with coin sized holes. Oversized coins like this can slide through if they hit the holes oriented just right.
