<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikediamond, post: 1753615, member: 1859&quot;]An alternative explanation, and one that I have no way to disprove, would argue that, during the second strike, the coin was off-center toward northwest (obverse perspective) and that, simultaneously, the obverse die developed a horizontal misalignment toward the northwest of the exact same magnitude. That would maintain obverse centering while the reverse would appear off-center.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a constant, vexing possibility for MAD anvil dies, except for the one specimen in which a broken collar continued to surround the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still, for this 1944 cent I&#039;ll opt for the &quot;if it looks like a duck&quot; approach and assign it to the category it appears to resemble.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
