Sorry to say you will still have to keep looking for a true off center. That is from a slightly misaligned die.
Here's info from "Lincoln Cents Online" website:
Misaligned Die
A misaligned die error (MAD) happens when the hammer die and the anvil die become misaligned. This is almost always because the hammer die shifts in it's holder. The more out of alignment the dies are, the more collectable the coin will be. Coins showing a misalignment of less than 10% usually have no collector value.
Some new collectors will confuse a misaligned die error with an off center strike. An off center strike happens when the planchet is off center with both dies, the result will be shown on both sides of the coin.

I know... having some fun...Notice both sides equally off...I'd argue just barely off center as apposed to misaligned.

We dropped 66 degrees in 9 hours, ALMOST a Colorado record.

I’ll post the results once the true views are available, The grades just hit a few days ago so it shouldn’t take too much longer.
P.S. @joeykoins I have found seven or eight V nickels and it’s always a cool surprise!

Found two interesting coins - one is the spitting horse 1999 Delaware state quarter and the other one is yet another floating roof 1970 D Lincoln penny.
Slowly starting to enjot it but it's taking toll on my already weakening eyesight
Nice finds. Be sure to do your searching in good light, wear glasses if you have them (if not, see your ophthalmologist), and have a magnifying glass handy. Those will all help with your eyesight.... and identification of special coins if you find any. Cheers, RickO
Walked into one of the large Chase branches yesterday to grab some Friday rolls. As I was walking up she said gently "I have no quarter rolls for you today, we didn't get any quarters.". She is one of the tellers who enjoys seeing pics of cool finds.
She told me they didn't even get dimes either. I asked about nickels and she gave me all their rolls, as you can see it wasn't many. Then she said I have some loose dollars and halves and she scooped them all up and put them in the tray and said do you want any of these? She was letting me search them before I left lol.
Sitting right on top was a proof lol! So she got to learn what a proof was since there was no one in line behind me. I told her I'll just take the pile after a quick lesson in impaired proofs
Nothing too special was in those nickel rolls, just a couple from the 40's.
5 of the nickel rolls are solid 2021-D so I'm stashing those...maybe I'll open one of them today for a white-glove search

Very nice. Always helps with being nice to tellers and explaining the finer nuances of the hobby.
Showed the teller at our local bank the the album of Kennedy halves my kid put together from CRH alone and she was mighty impressed.
After an epic number of skunkboxes, told my son to go easy with CRH because of not wanting to make things awkward since the Tellers have to count each and every customer hand rolled roll as per their manager who was not a pleasant lady.
Taking my son to this particular car wash about twenty miles away that used only dollar coins for washes was a fun way of trying to put together the Presidential dollar set since the change machine there used to dispense the SBA dollar coins along with Sacagawea and presidential onesies. Got him an album from Hobby Lobby that he adds to, whatever coins we find from there.
It's so infrequent in regular Loomis rolls that I honestly don't even glance at edges anymore, that way it's always a surprise
...My average is about 2 silver quarters per year. Out of how many rolls per year...I have genuinely NO idea lol.
But also... woohoo!

I took the not so great looking 1964-69 coins from him for the cull rolls in exchange for better looking silvers so as to give it a more better balanced look.
@vulcanize.... Really nice Kennedy album.... I did one, years ago... Stopped somewhere around 2008 I think... I did get the special issues in later years, but left them in the mint package. Did he get the DDR's? There are some interesting varieties there....Check the CPG. Cheers, RickO

Did you add anymore pages for coins after 2008?
I completed the Dansco 8166 of Kennedy Half Dollars including proofs from 1964 to 2011 and did not feel motivated to go beyond (do have the mint sets and can break it out of there if need be to make it up to date).
Unfortunately, my son has the attention span of a gnat and did not get in depth with errors and such. He was solely looking for silver, trying to make money and cycle through the big boxes as fast as possible.

I did think of it and asked him, but in typical teenage fashion he was like "whatever, doesn't matter". Probably would have gone and sold it on eBay right away if the 70 D was put in.
Gave him an Englehard round along with a silver Chinese Panda instead, for his CRH efforts and put the Kennedy half album away.

@Kurisu Those rolls look awesome and especially for the price.
I recently had one graded and it came back SP68 and I thought it would go 69. Anyway, after looking at Coinfacts I realized mostly why mine graded low. And that would be Strike.
Here is mine and the second pic is a SP70 from Coinfacts. Look closely at the hair on the left side of the obverse and compare. You can easily see there the difference in strike.

Were those from Mint rolls?
Because out of the nickel Mint rolls I have opened I got just a few of the satin finish...maybe I should revisit them.
But I take a VERY close look at them all when opened the rolls for those better than 66 specimens.

@kurisu well obviously the business strike coins will be more valuable according to grade so I wouldn’t worry too much about the satin coins especially in a roll. Mine came from these type of sets and you’ll notice the 2004 has business strike whereas the 5, 6 and seven probably do not, kind of like the Lincoln‘s. I don’t know, there’s a gray area in there for me I haven’t quite completely figured it out yet :-)

Because out of the nickel Mint rolls I have opened I got just a few of the satin finish...maybe I should revisit them.
But I take a VERY close look at them all when opened the rolls for those better than 66 specimens.

Yes.
They will slowly and steadily get opened. I might open one or two this weekend.
I buy my rolls for opening
You very well may get the opportunity to actually watch me opening these
Awesome dealer gift! I would've loved those when I was a YN. My parents encouraged me with fun stuff like that too! Well, with different stuff, it was the 70's

@kurisu well obviously the business strike coins will be more valuable according to grade so I wouldn’t worry too much about the satin coins especially in a roll. Mine came from these type of sets and you’ll notice the 2004 has business strike whereas the 5, 6 and seven probably do not, kind of like the Lincoln‘s. I don’t know, there’s a gray area in there for me I haven’t quite completely figured it out yet :-)
