    Looks to be just 11% off center. I think PCGS is being liberal. image

    Very heavy clash marks. Note the traces of MIND YOUR BUSINESS at the top of the reverse.

    There's a photo of a double-struck, off-center, clipped Fugio on the home page of my club's website. Scroll down a bit:

    Cool piece. I was wondering why the auction link didn't work until I noticed how old this thread is.
