Coins struck out of the collar such as off center strikes would get stuck in the Mint’s counting machines so relatively few of these errors got out. In recent times the coins are weighed in bags so most of these errors find their way to banks where savvy tellers find them and sell them to dealers or other collectors. Value for your coin about $5-$10.
