Hello All,
I have been going thru a bunch of my coins and have found a few that I think are error.
Just wanted to see if you guys thought these are struck off center? or some other type of error?

The first is a 1980

a 1985 with a possible die crack on the reverse

and a 1986

Would these have any collector value if indeed an error? and what value would they have?

Thanks for looking and any information you can provide

They appear to be struck by a misaligned die. Those to that degree are quite common and have no added value.

Thanks - I am using a USB microscope camera for the pictures. I have to explain things because I am not quite sure of he technical terms for what I am seeing.


I agree with enamel and VAB2013

The 85 along the rim just south of the U and the 86 along the rim south of L!!!

Before you ask, that has no premium either.

I sort of suspected that already from the previous comments
