Off Center Nickel & Question About A Penny

I found this nickel this week,looks like it might be a broadstrike. Is this a common error or something that occurs quite often?


Does the mint mark on the penny look normal or is it a possible die that had grease?

To me the nickle looks like maybe an off center strike and the penny mintmark looks normal with maybe some wear on the side.

nice broadstrike nickel. that is a keeper! the cent just looks like an ordingary cent. i see lots of copper cents with mintmarks like that.

That's an off-center all right (about 5%), great find PW. The 79-D looks normal to me too, unless the D is filled in, even partly, which would be a die chip error.
