Off center strike

[goldencoin]

Hello, I don't get many errors while CRH'ing, but I think I got a good one today in a cwr. Funny thing is it isn't off struck on the reverse, which is probably due to die alignment. Normally I don't keep those types, but this one is a rather extreme example

I would tuck that into a 2X2, you don't find those that often.
Good coin.

That's not an OC strike it's a misaligned die. Nice find.

I believe coins like this are called 'broadstrikes' where they were struck slightly off center, BUT none of the design is missing.

I think a broadstrike is when a coin is struck outside of its retaining collar.

Be it an off center or broadstrike error, I'd guess the retail value at about $10. A 'keeper', for sure.

It's a misaligned die. Obverse die is badly misaligned and the reverse is fine. Not broadstruck, not offcenter, not out of collar. Misaligned die.
