I know some of you have already seen this penny, but I wanted to see if anybody else would know anything else about the penny. Some said it was off center. Some said it was damaged. Anybody else know anything?
Well I say it's MAD (misaligned die). Off-center would involve both side off to the same side, damage? No.
Can you post a pic of the reverse? An interesting find regardless of whether it is of any premium value. Troy
If the reverse is centered then I would say this is a normally struck coin. The obverse is not uncentered enough to have a premium if it is a MAD. The raised area thru the motto is from die wear and is very common on zinc cents. If the reverse is also uncentered then it might be an uncentered broadstrike but then the diameter should be larger than normal.
