    It’s only about 5% off center but it really shows as it’s a larger coin, a Eisenhower Dollar to be exact. It’s sure difficult to find the larger coins as a simple error like this one. It may be nice to have it graded but even raw it’s a great coin to own. This was in one of the packages that I never opened but finally got to last week.

    Thanks but I don’t support the lottery. I just buy coins instead. :)

    @paddyman98 I thought mine, which isn’t graded, was about 5% off center but it looks more like your graded 10% off center. Thanks for posting them.

    I like the OP (and Paddy's coin).
    So cool. Isn't it easier for the mint to be off center on smaller coins?
    These manhole cover coins are gigantic. Who could carry these things around in their pocket back in the day?

    Two Ike's from different sources with similar marks on the cheek. Interesting I guess.

    That is my thought but interesting that both coins from different sources have similar marks. I like the large Ike dollars have a lot of them. Just now going thru them.
