Off center strike

[Blackfoot58]

Got this in change. The reverse is fairly well centered, the obverse is quite noticeable. No special value, but I can’t help but keep it. I have several other off center coins, mostly nickels. Coincidence, or are they more frequently Struck wrong than other denominations?

I have a few that are a bit more extreme. True, little value. One of the more common “errors”.

Time for more coffee.

When only one side is off, then it is a mis-aligned die strike. When both sides are off, then it is off centered.

I wasn’t aware. Thanks!

Right you are, as usual. Of course, if my brain was working, I would have beat you to it.
