<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 998413, member: 112&quot;]Not necessarily, but quite often you do. (edit - misalignement can occur in the horizontal plane as well as the vertical plane and both can cause similar effects) On this coin for example, the denticles between 6 &amp; 9 are a good but longer than the those opposite them though. It really depends on the how coin is struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Understand, I&#039;m not saying that you are wrong about this coin in particular. Merely pointing out that it is not really a good diagnostic to use for counterfeits because the very same diagnostic occurs so often on genuine coins. And not just Morgans or coins with denticles. </p><p><br /></p><p>Very few coins are really well centered when you tale the time to look closely. Many of them are struck slightly off center because of a misaligned die or dies. Being well centered even used to be one of the standard grading criteria, but it&#039;s pretty much ignored in today&#039;s world. </p><p><br /></p><p>If it were adhered to like it should be, there wouldn&#039;t be nearly as many coins graded over 65 as there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
