In a box there were 24 of these and each is from the same die. Each one is misaligned slightly differently. I could see them through the rolls because the coins like this have one thin edge and one thick edge and the thin edges were cutting through the paper rolls so you could see exactly how many were in each roll. Each coin is like a wedge so if you stack a few it's not straight. It looks like the Obv is aligned with the collar but the Rev was not aligned. It causes the obverses to bulge on the side (opposing side to the thick rev rim) and on some of them it tore the plating but others just bulged in a way that looks neat on an UNC coin.

Each looks like an uncentered broadstrike struck against a stiff collar. As with all 2006 cents, the obverse die functioned as the anvil die and the collar surrounds the anvil die. _________________ President of CONECA; Host of Error Coin Information Exchange (Yahoo:Groups).

Since the vast majority of recent (post-2001) minor off-center strikes and uncentered broadstrikes look like this, my assumption is that the press design incorporates a stiff collar. _________________ President of CONECA; Host of Error Coin Information Exchange (Yahoo:Groups).
