2000 Stretched Out Off-center Cent MS66RD

He's a beauty.

Not on the label is that the reverse side was hit with a blank planchet in the way of the reverse die, making it a uniface reverse strike (strike through).

Why can't they just put that on the label???

Nice, can still see the bow tie!

 

lol, that's a neat coin, dunno how ms 66. love the coin.

 

Nice coin, Joe. I like the metal flow lines between the off-center and the planchet.

 

That is super cool to look at. Thanks for sharing it.

 

It's an older NGC slab. They got more into detail in later years.

 

And with the date! Lovely

 

@paddyman98 do you see ANY reverse design? I think I see some Memorial pillars.

Was this struck with both dies off center the first time, and THEN a second blank planchet got between this one and the reverse die to then snuff out the design? Or was it not struck with reverse dies at all?

Now I am thinking it was struck more than once.

 

These way off Center strikes are usually Uni-sided strikes. I find then complex.

 

The grade is completely irrelevant for a thing like this.

 

That's a cool looking error! Has a date and it looks like it is shaped like a baseball cap.

 

How does a coin like this make it out of the mint? It's a beauty.

 

Just like the free 2019 proof coins, the Mints Quality Control was on an extended break.

 

Yeah i don't get that. Thinking the mint is doing a great service to us coin collectors. But they melancholy the quality. Might as well let China make our mint sets. Chinese QC might be better. Yeah i'm pissed. And zinc to boot

 

This was a great big thing and the mint blew it

 

I hear that.

 

You got it!
