I bought this coin as an offcenter strike. Only one side was shown in the auction.

Now is my question: Is this error easier/harder to find then an offcenter strike?

This coin is in coin alignment and you can see that the top of CINQUENTA has been weakly struck.

I like this one very much, whatever your answers may be

If you noticed in ebay, they seem to have PLENTY of Mexican error coins and the type of errors can vary vastly. It just shows the bad minting practise in Mexico

Yes I've noticed that too. That's why I bought some of Mexico. All errorcoins are gorgeous, and for those prices, they are really hard to resist. I have now about a dozen of Mexican ones. But this one popped out, as the difference between te 2 dies is quite big. I never have seen a larger misalignment on any other coin anywhere ever, so I just wondered if someone else had seen this before on Mexican coins.

Normally it's about 2-3%, but this one is 5-6% (I guess)

This is all still quite new for me, especially worlderrors.

But I'm getting there, step by step
