Yes... it is called a misaligned die or MAD. Can we see the other side of this coin.

 

As I understand it, we won't be able to know if it is a misaligned die or an off center strike until we see the reverse of the coin. As @spirityoda says, we would like to see a photograph of the reverse.

An off center strike will have the same effect on BOTH sides of the coin

Here's a little article about the difference:

Yes, hang on a minute still trying to navigate this forum.

 

I am not an expert but I vote for it being an "off-center strike" (and not a MAD) since I see the same off-centerdness on both sides of your coin. (imho)

 

Welcome aboard !! Remember , collect only if you enjoy it because when you no longer do it no longer becomes a hobby .
You've come to the perfect place to start . These fine people here are a very eclectic group and very heart warming/ humorous at times .

 

Yes it is, i tried to use a lamp but it creates a shadow and flash reflects to much. It also has some sort of double lines on the one cent letters.

 

well, I have solution . Try this program to adjust the lighting , it's called LunaPic . It's FREE and easy . NO download .

 

That sort of happens when the coins are struck, Manuel. It's just an imperfection caused by the striking.

 

I do not believe it is an off center because all the design is still present. Wait for more opinions...

 

It's a misaligned die, not an off center. The centered reverse tells you it's a MAD

 

Hmmm... The reverse doesn't look centered to me. To my eye, the rim seems to grow thicker from about 5:00 to 10:30 on that coin.

Also, I did not realize that some of the devices must be missing for it to be an 'off center strike.' Back to reading up on this subject again.



Spirityoda and Oldhoopster have been around longer than I, so I defer to their expertise on this.

 

My answer in this thread iscthe same as in the other thread.

 

Welcome to CT @manuel reyes. Your comment about the girlfriend telling you to get a hobby reminded me of what my parents would say when I was a bother to them. "Go find something to do." LOL Is this pandemic driving you both a little nuts?

 

Well,
Boy is it. I don't have a garage so i use the kitchen for my toys, rebuilding a motocycle at the moment. I have to keep reminding her that she dont live with me so don't bring any cute fluffy stuff to my house.

 

Lol and she'll keep reminding you if you love her you'll learn to like that cute fluffy stuff in your house. Lol

 

No value?

 

Nope

 

Just One Cent
