I have found power in the mysteries of thought.
It is always a question of knowing and seeing, and not that of believing.
Our virtues, and our failings are inseparable, like force, and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

Looks like the piece of the obverse die that broke off and formed that giant cud was struck by the obverse die. You can see the "987" of the date and the semi-circle from the side of the die. So essentially, you have an obverse die that clashed with itself.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

On ancient coins, off-center strikes don't add a premium; in fact, it's seen as a slight detraction ("poor centering").
Nevertheless, I liked this piece, thought it had character, and I needed Carausius for my emperor set, so I bought it.
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.
