<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1102640, member: 112&quot;]The complete design fits on the coin just fine. It doesn&#039;t have anything to do with the design. The exact same thing happens with coins of any design you just don&#039;t notice it as much as this one because this one is incuse.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is going on is that the coins are struck slightly off center, or with misaligned dies. It is extremely common. It is so common that it is the norm rather than the exception. In the old days everybody knew this. But it today&#039;s world most have forgotten it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason they have forgotten it is because people have forgotten the old grading standards. There are two things you are supposed to look at before looking at anything else when you are grading a coin - planchet quality and if the coin is well centered or not. Only then do you continue grading the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
