I have seen so many of these and own so many also that it's not hard to tell a Misaligned Strike. Thick at 10 o'clock and Thin at 4 o'clock is a better area description @ken454

i had so many of these it got ridiculous, i only save em now if rim is non existent on one side...

 

Cool.. your avatar is Off-Center with a Die Clash.. aka Prisoner Cent?

 

yea its a neat one!

 

Thank you Ken and Paddy.

 

A Penny.

 

I'd rather have the penny :-D

 

They're fake btw.

 

EASY! He is probably referring to the distance (Thickness - IMO a poor choice of words) between the edge of the coin and its design on either side. IMO, it is not enough to be called a misaligned die at a TPGS. I is definitely slightly off though.

The die wear ridge on the left is more significant/interesting to me; yet the coin should not be worth a whole lot to most collectors..

 

That's pretty close to the way the TPGS's call them!

 

Plating issue?

 

Can't really tell about the doubled S due to the low photo quality. If you can take a closeup of the mint mark in a well lit room without flash, we might be able to give a better opinion.

 

Now the thread gets interesting....very nice!
