<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2625771, member: 1892&quot;]It&#039;s also misaligned on the reverse, but not as a pair with the obverse. Is that a net &quot;off-center?&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I construe an &quot;off center&quot; strike as one where - irrespective of the dies - the planchet was not properly centered with regard to the <b>collar</b>. &quot;Misaligned die&quot; strikes are those where the <b>dies</b> were not centered with regard to the collar. The coin here is a misaligned die strike, albeit one where neither die was properly aligned.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit to add: I can conceive of a (minor) off-center strike where the planchet is properly centered on the collar and the dies are aligned to each other, but not properly centered on the collar. If the misalignment on this coin were at similar places on each die, it could qualify that way, but I do not know if the numismatic community at large would consider that an &quot;off center&quot; or not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
