GDJSMP, How can "paying too much for a coin" be considered too much when someone is willing to pay that price? YOU say it is too much based on...

Here's what that same guy on the other forum added: Yeah. Imagine if the upper die became loose while the press was running. Perhaps a set screw...
But it made some sense to me because, if the die wasn't tilted, then you'd think the entire or at least more of the obverse coin would also show...
