    Notice how the rim on the top left of the penny is larger than the other sides of the rim
    Also realize how Lincoln is closer to the rim than usualusual

    This misalignment is so slight that it is probably considered common. If you take a look at Kennedy halves from the 70's, you will find a lot of them.

    You would have to post obv and rev pics to determine if it's off-center vs misaligned die.

    I suppose I can see half a percent of a shift, but whichever it is (oc/mad) it is so minute, it wouldn't carry a premium.

    Best case scenario, you put 20 of them in 2x2s in a folder page, you have about $1.20 invested, put $2.00 on the page and be happy making a few cents on each.

    I've put a group of these for sale before. Some people collect ANYTHING!

    There is a window of tolerance for all coins; off center, misalignment, rotated dies, etc....this is totally acceptable by mint standards.

    Hello SorenCoins. There seems to be a lot of these that appeared in 1972 and 1973. I have about a dozen of them. They are just a slight MAD, Misaligned Die. Looking at the top right part of the first picture it also looks like you have a slight double rim. If I could see a close up of that area and also the reverse of the Cent.
