Misalignment of dies

I found a common date Jefferson nickle and the obverse die was misaligned resulting in an obverse that is off center by about 10% while the reverse seems fine... is this scarcer than a coin whereby both the obverse and reverse are off centered? Any thoughts?

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    10% is a very, very misaligned die. Most of them are pretty slight. I would think that's way up there in the world of misaligned die strikes.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
