There is certainly a market for them but off-centers are also one of the most common error types so that tends to limit the value of most examples. A full date adds to the value and the best examples have a date and not much else. Your coin is roughly 40% off-center and would be worth $7-10.
The US Mint has utilized new QC measures for a little over a decade now with the goal of reducing the number of errors leaving the Mint. Prior to that, the best source of errors were the small canvas mint bags received by banks. This was the primary source for the best errors that would not be able to fit into a roll and, of course, many other errors that could fit into a roll.
