    (Let's see if any 90's kids get the reference)

    I picked up a nickel today that was 95% off-center! Fun buy, but I want to see your off-center errors. And let's make it a game to make it even more fun. To calculate points work in the equasion
    2000 - date x %off center x denomination (1=cent, 5=nickel)...

    Okay, have at it. Show me your off-centers with attitude (more reference, boy I've gotta lay off the nostalgia :eek:ff-topic:...)

    2000-1837 X .38 X 50 = 3097

    2000-1834 x .23 x 1 = 38.18

    I think you guys are confusing die rotation with an off-center strike. I will post what I think the OP means in a minute.

    EDIT: Ok, here is mine. A dateless cent struck about 65% off-center. Judging from the reverse design, I would guess it is 1982-1984. So 2000-1982=18...18x65=1,170. I'm sure that will be an easy number to beat, especially after seeing a lot of older off-center coins posted by members. :hail:

    It's alright, we all have those days. I even removed the "t" to make "enought" "enough". And I did mean off-center strike.
