    Would you call this an off center coin or not properly seated or something else? 1857 F.E cent obv..jpg 1857 F.E cent Rev..jpg 1857 flying eagle cent o.c. 1.jpg 1857 flying eagle cent o.c. 2.jpg 1857 F.E cent obv..jpg 1857 F.E cent Rev..jpg 1857 flying eagle cent o.c. 1.jpg 1857 flying eagle cent o.c. 2.jpg

    Do the areas of weakness correspond to each other? If so, I would consider it improperly seated, as the error was it was slightly angled between the dies. However, not an error collector so cannot speak for what terminology they consider is proper for them.

    Looks like a MAD strike. Not enough for any excitement but it is off a small bit.

    Just for my education, so misaligned dies, (MAD), is where one die is put in the press slightly off of perpendicular so every strike it creates will have soft spot in one area and soft spot in the opposite are on the other side? Do I have that right? Sorry for an ancient/generalist crashing your error discussion. Just trying to learn, (like I always do I hope).

    Btw, if error collectors want to hit the gold mine, look at Byzantine coins. Some issues a non-error is the great rarity. :)

    I think this is called a "misaligned die." I've been told that some part of the design must be missing to be called "off-center."

    :oops: I never heard of MAD before. :sorry:

    :rolleyes: So I guess you all know what these errors are: OCS, DSIC, RDE, DSWI, FOS, FOE, etc. :D

    :rolleyes: Thanks Paddyman for explaining my post to other members. I guess you were posting at the same time and missed this:

    Insider, posted: "I think this is called a "misaligned die." I've been told that some part of the design must be missing to be called "off-center."

    :oops: I never heard of MAD before." :sorry:

    Curious thing, I :bucktooth::blackeye: never heard of PMD either until I :bucktooth: joined CT where the
    error experts :bookworm::cigar: were posting.

    No edge photos? My first thought was improper thickness planchet, but with the reverse looking nice, I changed my mind. LOL
