[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2974803, member: 69760"]I meant in general though I see that you answered that question ^^^. But, I finally found an example! Here is a coin that was struck off-center and on a type 1 blank. Since it doesn't fit within the collar, the blank must have shifted and caused it to go off-center (?). I'm guessing if it was a larger blank like that of a nickel blank, then the coin would look very splayed out. Apparently it's very rare and only 3 examples of this error on zinc cents are known to exist.
