    Need a reverse shot also, as looking at the obverse alone it's just a MAD (misaligned die)

    Hard to say if it's truly an off center piece. I doubt there's a big premium, but let's hear from the error collectors.

    I'm not an error expert but I think thats just a misaligned die, not far enough to be called off-center imo.

    1920-P is a common Philly date for errors, when I say common it's not thousands known... but more then 20-30.

    It looks like a Mis-Aligned Obv. Die
    from the 'look' of it on the one
    scan.

    If the reverse is normal, it's a MAD.

    Wouldn't an off center strike have part of the design missing?
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Yes... it's not even a partial collar or broadstrike looking at the obverse.

  • I would like to see the reverse to confirm a misaligned die or uncentered broadstrike. My bet is it's a misaligned die with a normal reverse centering.
