    I’d like to add a “stop“ before MAD, And a “ness“ after the word.

    I see no error other than a very slightly MAD.

    Although its not a valuable penny it sure is a clean one.

    Absolutely

    Slightly off center, nice thick rim.

    It’s not off-center….

    Is this due to a hard strike?

    Can't tell if OP is a troll or just really....misguided.

    It's a misaligned die strike, not off center. On an off center strike, both sides would be off center equally, not just the obverse.
