Yesterday I found a 20c with an off centre strike, the rim is very wide at one end and on the opposite is almost non existent, would this qualify as an error, Here is a picture of the little sucker.

I see plenty of offsets and usually only keep one if the thinnest part is less than about 20% as wide as the opposite edge.
Yours is a little above that (arbitrary) rule but, worth keeping; and now your task is to find one with more offset.
I have never been able to establish if there is a recognised guideline as to what is worth keeping. Everyone seems to have a different idea.

Of course, the target is one with no rim width at the thinnest part but that is rather rare!

Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

After the discussion we had a while back on this, I've been tossing mine back. Just in this sack of $2, I must have seen a hundred or more like the one pictured so far.
