    Hi all,
    I wanted to share my latest Mint Error acquisition that I purchased from Jon P. Sullivan over at Sullivan Numismatics

    1939 Wheat Cent - Uncirculated Brown
    3% Misaligned Die Strike
    (Might also be an Improperly Mixed Alloy aka Woody)

    Enjoy :woot:

    The MAD is on both sides. I think that's a slight off-center strike.

    The obv. die was so mis-aligned that when
    it came down to strike the coin, it tilted the
    planchet.

    I believe the coin is a MAD, with a partial collar
