[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 2810601, member: 85496"]Welcome to CT!! I'm no pro, but I will try to answer best I can. See how much I have learned. I believe for incorrect planchet you will need to weigh it. It should weigh right around 5.67 grams. If it weighs correctly and is same diameter as other quarters then it is most likely the correct planchet. Now for the Off Center strikes. In order to tell if it is off center your would need to look at both sides of coin. If only one side looks off center, then it is called a MAD or Miss-Aligned Die error. This can also happen to both sides of same coin. This happens when both sides are off center but in[B] different directions[/B]. If it is a true "OFF Center" strike, [B]both sides[/B] of the coin will be stuck off center [B]in same direction. [/B] Hopes this helps ya out a little[B]:)[/B] The more knowledgeable members will probably chime in and correct/add anything I may have gotten wrong or missed. [B][/B][/QUOTE]
