Not what I've came across but picked at garage sale for a quarter!

Thanks everyone one and Just Bob appreciate the knowledgeable information you give and for pointing out the different markers of indications truly helpful! Now with the other identifying markers that you have pointed out does indicate small letters variety.

Little better picture 

I respect your disagreement however Small Letter AM almost touching large letters do not I'll take a more clear picture for verification 

Yes I'm sure it's a small letter variety 

Any clue on value of this particular coin?

Thanks for the information ! Pretty exciting

Seen a couple of off center coins but I've never been able to find one however that was changed today when I found this one! 

Thank you sir

Picked this up at an local small estate sale sorry if this is not the place for thecoin in question however I’m having a difficult time finding any information on it so if anyone has any knowledge about it I would appreciate the info

What’s going on with this 5 and mint mark does not look any thing as y others

Mint die over?

Yes sir looking forward to one day of have at least half of the knowledge that you have in numismatics 

I have 1942 with the mint mark above Monticello and I have this one I’ve just found so I was not sure why mints in different spots but as I researched just a little it was a transition year however all mint marks for 1942 should be above Monticello is as far as I’ve gotten gonna continue a little research 

Thanks!

Found today after picking in pocket change after work!

I took the pic upside down so that it wouldn’t be thought as a lightning issue however it appears doubled on mint mark as well as the motto zoom in a bit 

Bicentennial doubled die mint,motto? 

Very educational thread! Thanks again!

Hi Mason,

Well....it looks like you have an actual error coin on your hands!  Congrats!  Now, onto the coin.  I think what you have there is a misaligned die error, since the obverse is off-center but the reverse looks like it's a bit off-centered, but I don't know if it's significant enough to be classified as a full off-centered coin.  It's a pretty cool find.  Though I'm usually not a fan of the other coin boards out there (I used to be a member at a couple of them and I wasn't a fan of either), this post from Coin Talk was written by Physics-Fan 3.14, who is an esteemed, respected member here, so I'm sure this post from 2009 is good stuff.  It explains misaligned die errors excellently:

Congrats on your find!  And, thanks to Physics-Fan 3.14 of a decade ago for the great information!
