Off Center Penny! US Mint Error Coin!
*********Please note the first two pictures are from the website that In bought this coin from - the other two are the ones that I took.*********
Please look at the pictures – they are part of the description.
An off-center coin is produced when the coin is struck once, albeit off center. Unlike a broadstrike, the punch is not in the center of the coin, but rather the edge. This results in a coin which is not circular. The coin gives a freakish appearance as a result, and various amounts of blank planchet space are visible. The coins can vary in value because of how far off center they are struck.
Error coins are getting hard to find. Errors are becoming very rare as the mint has put in a systems in 2002 to virtually to stop all major errors from getting out of the mint.
