off center or out of collar S.B.A.?

Pull out your needles and burst the bubble. Which one is it ?

I don't know but that's WICKED Cool !

 

I'll go Off-Center ?

 

That's not something I've seen before. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

 

I've been told that in order for a coin to be off-center, part of its design must be missing. I should think that would include the raised rim but apparently not (?). Otherwise, its a misaligned die.

Looks off center... but looks very odd.

 

Because it is out of collar too. You can see the "railroad rim" between like 3 and 6 on the 2nd picture.

 

still have not heard the bubble burst.. thanks guys

 

@Southernman189 Here is a quarter I found last year that was struck out of collar. You can kind of see the railroad rim on the bottom of the obverse. It's easier to see on the side view. What does your rim look like? Just curious.

 

ok I'll take a picture of the Rim, you got me curious now

 

What you show is called a "tilted partial collar." It is a type of broadstrike (a broadstrike is a coin struck without a collar). I would probably call yours "uncentered" instead of "off-center" - to qualify as off-center, some of the design has to be missing.

"POP" goes the bubble ...lol Thank you for the research friend.

 

Here's the answer Broadstrike with a obverse collar clash

 

I'm not entirely sure what bubble I popped.... you asked if it was an out of collar strike and that's exactly what it (sort-of) is.

It's also worth about $20, so I'd be happy with that!

 

An educational coin for sure.

 

it's all in fun. you did good research and I thank you. No REAL bubble popped. I knew it was a out of collar OR off center anyway all is good. (well there went my Million Dollar coin lol)

 

Nice find anyways
