Does this cent have to much wear to show the denticles on eaither side . and is this an off center strike .
He probably thinks it's off center because the OBV. right center rim is so worn to the bare surfaces, giving it a off center appearance.
After taking a better look at the coin your right its not an off center . is the wear on the coin the reason it doesnt have denticles.
Looks like wear on the rim at the 9 and 3 o'clock area give that illusion. When I enlarge it I can clearly see the rim on the 9 o'c;lock side was correct most of the way thru. The 3 oclock is to heavily worn to tell. I would say, no, wear only.
