2022 penny error?

  1. The coin seems odd shaped itself and the one side of the rim is strange. Is this an error? Or post mint damage? 20250604_153310.jpg 20250604_153318.jpg 20250604_153343.jpg

    I'd say, slightly off-center strike. An off-center coin does not have to do with the misalignment of the dies. These errors occur when the planchet is, for whatever reason, improperly fed into the striking chamber, and only sits partially on the collar. Since the collar is responsible for holding the planchet in place during striking, only part of the planchet (the part that is over the anvil die) gets struck. The coin is then ejected (providing it is not struck again). An off center strike will show an offsetting of the image on both sides of the coin, and may be misshapen and elongated. Off-center strikes are popular errors and do command a premium based on the percentage off center.
    I would say that you found a cool find. :)
    Value? Not my area for error coins but not sure it would qualify, however.

    @SensibleSal66

    The issue is a tilted partial collar strike. Not an off center nor slightly off center strike o_O

    I edited my answer. Read it again. It is actually a tilted partial collar strike.

    I didn't see the side picture until after I posted.

    But yes there is also a dual misaligned die strike error.
