How low can you go....? And still see...

How low can you go with off center strikes? Post your you off centers mint errors... what percentage do you have that is close to a near miss strike that still shows some of a device,date,mint mark ,or any other item that links the mostly blank platchet to a coin

A 1989-P Dime.

 

Two 1983 Zinc Cents.

 

A 1995-P Nickel with the same date on both strikes.

 

Both strikes are almost in the same alignment with each other.

 

This happened in the year 2000.

 

The coins in post #4,5,6 are not Off-center struck coins, They are mostly
Double Struck coins. They can and do have similar characteristics, but are really two different types of striking errors. They are also nice to see...

I Think this one is around 10-15% Off Center .

 

With all due respect, I think yours is about 85-90% Off Center. Only 10-15% is struck.

 

These zinc cents make horrible looking off centers. I have a few myself.

 

Yeah, not real fun. But at least it doesn't have any zinc rot.

 

Only one of mine does so it may happen but it a not exposed to air any longer.

 

air is only one of the factors, I live in a semi-arid climate. The relative humidity stays pretty low and doesn't fluctuate much.

 

Our humidity constantly changes. Welcome to the east coast.

 

I'm actually intrigued by the notion of collecting some things that would need to be kept in high vacuum or an inert atmosphere. Zincolns don't make the list, though.

 

Not at all!!
