Compound Misalignment: Horizontal / Vertical


      Any two of the four types of misalignments -- horizontal, vertical, pivoted, and rotated -- can occur in combination.  Illustrated here is a dime that features a 50% horizontal misalignment and a vertical misalignment of perhaps 15 degrees.  The strike is also exceptionally weak.  Coin courtesy of Paul Heinen.
