    I'd call it an uncentered broadstrike, not an off-center.

    Pretty cool. I'm guessing you found it in a roll of IHCs that you purchased... but if you found it in a roll of cents that you recently got from the bank, than that would be :thumb:

    a little emotional there, aren't we?

    Calm down, I don't think that anyone was accusing you of something indecent or illegal.

    An opinion/belief was expressed.

    That is all.

    Now, I will leave without expressing an opinion on the coin....

    in any manner.

    Why have I seen more little fights on this sight lately. I didn't see any the first 3 months I was here. Let's stop!!!

    VERY cool find. What kind of premium will this bring?

    It was just an opinion and you can accept it or reject it.

    now that is an interesting question.

    Huh? Anyone know the answer?

    The NGC piece looks like it is probably an off-center, can't say for sure without seeing the reverse. It does have the one thing it must have to be an off-center, part of the design is missing. (That is why I called the raw one an uncentered broadstrike rather than an off-center, all the design is present.) If the NGC is off in the same direction and amount on the reverse then yes it is an off-center. If it is not then it would be a severely mis-aligned die.

    All off-centers are broadstrikes, but not all broadstrikes are off-centers, and if you only see one side of a coin a mis-aligned die can look like either one of them.
