<p>[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 78622, member: 4350"]Hi All,</p><p>That coin is not the result of a mis-aligned die strike at all. I've seen literally thousands of these. It is something that happens often to the surface of the coin during the striking of our copper-plated zinc cents. The area of metal under the IN GOD WE TRUST seems to rise up a little during the strike causing that effect under the lettering. A misaligned die strike looks like a slight off-center strike but the "off-center" lool is only on one side. Usually the obverse.</p><p>Have Fun,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
