Foreign Coins with U.S. Mint Errors
Off Center Strike

Owner Comments:

Lyman Allen #6.06 (KM #180a) - Mintage: 72,796,000
Struck 75% Off Center

This coin is a well struck, dramatically off center error. The devices present on both sides of the coin are magnificent. On the reverse, the sea lion shows the intended surface detail that is almost never seen even on the very finest struck coins. The word "OF" on the highest point of the banner below the shield is evident.. The obverse is just as full of high point detail. The hair and ear are sharp and clear. One of the most important aspects of this coin is that the date and mint mark portion of the design is perfectly centered in the area of the planchet that was struck by the dies. Many that are struck this far off center are undated.
