I've found a half dozen or so of these while CRH-ing. I would call them scarce, not rare.
You coin it is borderline 5%. If you give me dimension in mm with 0.02 digits from the outside to the inner line at the half distance between T and Y I will be able to tell you exact the %

Interesting find... Usually needs more severe misalignment to command much of a premium - though I am sure this would garner some increase. Cheers, RickO
As MK stated, they are scarce but not rare

In coin collecting - how is "RARE" and "SCARCE" differentiated?? I only know in Bird watching "Rare" and "Scarce" are one in the same?
