1918 Lincoln - is this a "broadstrike"?

Here are some photos of my 1918 Lincoln. Not the greatest condition, but even if it was MS, it might be worth 3 Starbucks coffees (maybe).

It caught my eye, however, because the obverse seems to be off-center. When I measure the width of the rim with my calipers, from the "L" in Liberty to the outer edge of the rim, it's about .53mm. When I measure the distance directly across from that, the rim is about .26mm. Measurements are approximate as I don't want to damage the coin and the distance from inner rim to outer rim is so small. That being said, it does appear the left rim is thicker than the right.

Is this what is known as a "broadstrike?" If so, does this increase the value by anything and by what amount? Maybe I would just get another Starbucks coffee out of it, and if so, that's OK. I am just trying to learn the hobby.

Thanks!

It's a Misaligned Die Strike.

Normally you would be directed to error-ref.com but the site is currently down due to an expired security certificate (we think).

BUT…you can put “image of a broadstrike coin” into a search engine and see what it is.
