<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SensibleSal66, post: 26223971, member: 115232&quot;]I&#039;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). <b>An off center strike will show an offsetting of the image on both sides of the coin</b>, and may be misshapen and elongated. Off-center strikes are popular errors and do command a premium based on the percentage off center. </p><p>&nbsp; I would say that you found a cool find. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp; Value? Not my area for error coins but not sure it would qualify, however.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
