You are missing a book written by a forum member here. I personally think it's one of the best additions to that stack. I won't say any more to...
Haha, no, it is not like a proof coin... it's a prooflike coin. ;) I collect PL coins... and I love off-center errors like this because it proves...
Just bought this nickel.... well, it's sort of a nickel. Someone made a big oopsie. Twice. You see the obvious off center strike, but what's cool...
