<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3113343, member: 78244&quot;]To follow this tangent, how far off-center does a strike have to be to cease being a coin? Or how big of a clip? I’ve seen seen coins that have had serious (30-50%) clips/off-center strikes and yet they clearly circulated for a while. I’m sure some cents with 99% off-center strikes have circulated to some degree.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it was struck/cast by an authority for use as money and was monetized, then for all intents and purposes it is a “coin”. A dime struck on a nail was never monetized, thus it is not a coin. A dime struck off-center, put into a mint bag, and monetized is a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
