No Goldy, its off-centre, but flat. Crummy picture angles.

After looking at it again for several minutes, I have to agree it a well off centre strike.  Regardless a very nice error to add to ones collection.

Thanks Fulvio, I can see it now.

Yeah, I'd certainly give it a good home, as would we all I suspect. :)
