As the name implies,these are coins which were struck off center and,naturally,out of collar.Some of the obverse and reverse design elements (including denticles when included as part of the design) must be missing.This usually occurs when a planchet does not rest in its proper position inside the press.

The most desirable off-center strikes are those which are approximately 40-80%(measured by observing the unstruck potion of the planchet) off center and include a full date.Off-center strikes on obsolete series are very much in demand as well.
