Indian Head Cent?
I was looking at some of my Indian Head Cents today and noticed that the coin looked just a bit off center although I may be wrong. Just by looking at the coin it appears quite obvious that the left rim of the coin looks a bit wider than the right. Sorry about the scans they aren't very clear,does it look off center?

You are right but it does not add any value to the coin. It happened a lot back then and still does. The collar has some lead way and the die could have been loose. There was only one set screw to hold the die in place, so they got loose and moved a little.I have lots of coins that are off some but not enough to add value. You will notice more as time goes by.
