Off center - yes, but it makes it a more interesting coin IMHO. Also it has a great image of Sol.

 

You are lucky it was on a large flan, so you still have most of the design.

 

Nice, with a great Sol.

 

cool coin show pick up TJC!

what did you shoot that coin on? are you giving me some competiton of most gnarly table?

 

It looks like a cork coaster. Very nice coin - the off center strike is distinctive and you've still got most of the devices. Nice find!

 

I looks more like the coin might be layin' in a bowl of Grape-nuts cereal? (that's thinkin' outside of the box)

=> cool coin, TJC
