    Here’s a better date IHC that I just got as part of an IHC collection. It’s slightly off center and in decent shape. What sort of premium does this minor error add?

    Not an off center all design details remain not even close!!!!.The rim just looks very worn on top of the obverse.It might be a slight mad at the most,no added value but nice indian it did its time good.Open 3 variety im not seeing the doubled liberty.

    Slightly misaligned dies, is all. No premium, I'd say.

    That's a different thing than an off-center strike, you see.

    Notice how this coin is centered on the reverse, but off on the obverse.

    I noticed that the reverse was centered and thought that was fishy…you learn something new every day!

    No premium, but it's still a fun little detail.

    Dearborn Above average collector - Is that an Error?

    I think it is a very slightly off center obverse paired with a centered reverse = Mis-aligned die (MAD) in this case.
