Did I find my first error?

Still going through roll after roll after roll of my grandparent's old pennies. Came across a really nice looking roll of 1968 D pennies.
A quick scan through them, this one caught my eye. It looks as if it's an off-center strike. Almost no rim on the top, with a thick rim on the bottom.

Thoughts from the experts?

    Very very very slightly off center strike....not going to add to the value, in my opinion. I am waaaaaaaaay from an expert.

    Inherited collections can be fun to go through. The lighting on some of those pics make them look like they could hold water in the depth. Thanks for sharing.

    Yup, nice curiosity, no real added value though.

    And the answer is: misaligned die

    Barely a minor misaligned die

    This has absolutely no premium, imo
