How on Earth did ANACS come up with this percentage?

Maybe it's time someone developed a photographic app that could accomplish this?

I don't know, when I looked at it it looked fine to me.

But then, a lot of things look fine to me by the fourth or fifth beer!

 

Should have been 75% off.

 

It's complicated but I just eyeball it. ICG does not put the percent on off-centers. Someone can check the other services.

I take the diameter of the planchet, and then
measure how much of the UNSTRUCK portion
there is - that's the % of O/C.

It's not how much of the design shows, it's how
much of the planchet is blank.

It's fairly easy to do, and it's within a few % points
of exactness.

 

My best guess is 62+/-.5% OC & 38+/-.5% struck. I blew up photo to 4" and 2 1/4" remained unstruck.
