This off center enough to be an error?

    Reverse is off center, with obverse pretty good, misaligned die.

    Just is this enough to keep? Any value to this?

    Sorry about lighting under white LED.

    It's not off center. It's a misaligned reverse die. Pretty cool. :)

    This is called a misaligned die. Now I don't agree with what I'm about to post but it is is what the error guys say. In order to be an off-center strik, part of the design must be missing. The rim does not count. :facepalm:

    Thanks, ran across it tonight searching through some coins, about just tossed asside as rough as George looked then flipped it over and said hmm. Thought I would ask. You never know. Back into circulation it goes.

    Right - Off Center BOTH sides would be equally off center - if just on one side then Misaligned die strike.

    Here's a more dramatic example I found in a roll awhile back
