Concur with the expert views already stated above - this is indeed a legitimate error coin. It's known by several names - I believe the most accurate is 'off-center strike'. Keeper for sure ... well found during roll searching.

It's an off-center strike (or perhaps an uncentered broadstrike) in combination with a stiff collar error.

I wasn't gonna ask, but my fiance would like to know if it's worth more then 5 cents. I told her it was and she doesn't believe me. Can someone please tell me it is so I can show her? She doesn't understand my obsession with coins

Yes, it definitely worth more than 5 cents. You can probably get 15 to 20 dollars for this coin.

Looks like an uncentered broadstrike to me. I don't think any of the design is missing (But it comes pretty darn close)

 Let me recap. You join the Coin Community.  You post an interesting coin.  Someone tells you what it is and it is a keeper.  You get confirmation from Mike Diamond.   You get a coop picture file.  You get to tell your lady "See I was right.  All this with your first post. What are you going to do for an encore?
