    Found this today, wider rim on west side of obverse and reverse. I did some research which said that misaligned die strikes affect one side only. Can both the anvil die and hammer die be misaligned and create a coin like this? Or, is this just a slightly off-center strike? Thanks for looking.

    Slightly Misaligned Strike on Obverse. Really slight on Reverse... I have seen many like these.

    Not an off-center, both dies are misaligned, and in different directions.
