PCGS 1896-S Barber half dollar struck 10% off-center at 7 o'clock. The coin is a solid 10%, with a relatively large portion of planchet visible, and the dentils missing on the obverse and reverse. A scarce date/mint as well, particularly in AU. 

The error occurred when the coin was struck with the planchet not properly positioned between the dies, resulting in an off-center strike.

An extremely rare series for major errors such as off-centers, and we estimate only around 8-10 Barber half off-centers are known. Of the known examples of Barber half off-centers, there are perhaps 3 or 4 that are around 5% off-center, and perhaps 3 that are further off-center than this coin. This is right in the middle in terms of how far off it is. 

This is a previously unknown example to us, and likely was set aside very soon after being struck, since it is AU, with just light wear. Perhaps it was stuck in a counting machine, since there are a small scratch obverse, and some rim dings--all of which are old and toned over. The toning also indicate it was stuck in a drawer or somewhere for years before someone brought it to the coin market. 

PCGS AU details scratched. The coin has sharp details, with only light wear. This coin spent very little time in circulation. There are some scratches on the obverse, and some rim dings, but all are heavily toned over. The coin has dark brown toning as well.
