<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coin Counter, post: 2268632, member: 74858&quot;]Hello!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For about 10 years my grandfather worked as a service tech for a company that made, sold, and serviced coin <span style="color: #808080">wrapping </span>machines as well as selling and servicing coin <span style="color: #808080">sorting</span> machines. After that he ran his own company for 5 years that did the same job.</p><p><br /></p><p>Usually when he was called to service a machine, the problem would be because of a broken part in the machine or some other kind of problem. But every once in a while an error coin stuck in the machine was the cause. This is why when ever he was called out to service a machine, he would have a bunch of loose change in his pocket so that if an error coin stuck in the machine was the cause, he could pull it out and replace it with a normal coin to keep the count the same. And the owners of the machines where always fine with it because an error coin was of no use to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Over time he accumulated over 50 of these error coins. But due to the fact that life is not perfect, funds where needed and most of the coins had to be sold.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thankfully, a few of these coins were saved, which are the (few) coins I am posting here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-1978 Denver Nickle. Off-center strike?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]451614[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]451615[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]451616[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]451617[/ATTACH]</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Can someone give me </p><p>some information on the Coin above. It&#039;s like an off-center struck coin, but the rim is all weird. Thanks in advance. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>-19??
