Strike
Off-center strike
The planchet was not seated in the collar, so part of the design lies outside the struck area.
How to spot it
A blank crescent along one edge with the design pushed to the opposite side. Value depends on how far off-centre it is and whether the full date shows.
Value impact
Coins that are 50% off-centre with a complete visible date carry the largest premiums.
Known examples
- Any denomination, most common on cents and nickels
