1985 Lincoln Memorial Penny, MINT ERROR • Struck 10% Off-Center • Ungraded Au/MS (About Uncirculated/ Mint State)

An off-center coin error is a minting error that occurs when the planchet (blank coin) is not centered on the press during the striking process.

This results in part of the coin's design being missing, and the coin itself is often not a perfect circle, with some of the rim missing and blank planchet visible.
