    I found this coin recently. The edge is completely non-reeded, and slightly off center.

    I also found a few that are partially reeded and slightly off center.

    Few have die cracks through the A in Arizon.

    I put them on Ebay, and surprisingly sold a couple for a decent $$.

    Anyone know their value?

    Thanks,

    It's a slightly uncentered broadstrike. In other words, it was struck out-of-collar.

    Question on this. Is the reeding done by the collar or is it done in a separate process before striking?

    Thanks

    The reeding is produced by the collar at the moment of the strike.

    Welcome to the forum. Could it also be called a mis-aligned die?

    Only if one face is uncentered or off-center and the other face is centered.

    To add to Mike, it would also have reeding if it was misaligned (if it was a normally reeded coin). In the case of a misalignment it isn't the collar thats sleeping on the job. Its one of the other two.
