These coins are misstruck when the planchets do not enter the coinage presses correctly. The coin can be struck off center in varying degrees. Coins that are struck only slightly off center with none of the design missing are called Broadstrikes....The Off Center coins usually missing from 10 to 98% of the design. Those that are struck with nearly all of the design missing are usually worth more, but those with a readable mint mark and date are the most valuable and since the detection equipment is much more sophisticated now, it is becoming more difficult to obtain these coins.
