Hey every-one, Just wondering if this is worth slabbing, it looks broad struck but is it enough to make any premium to it? What is the % off it needs to be ? Thanks for you input!

oooo. I would have that one slabbed if you plan to sell it. If not it is best to stay out of the slab to be better appreciated.

I just saw one online - 1868 PCGS vf20 with a price tag for $250

Broadstruck means the coin is larger around than it should be. It's a coin struck out of collar. If you're referring to an off-center coin, it needs to be off center enough to affect the design...which yours is not.

As an aside, your coin appears to be damaged - which means the slabbing companies would be happy to take your money and return your coin to you in a 5 cent flip.

It should also be mentioned that if the reverse of the coin is perfectly centered than this coin might have been struck by a slightly misaligned die.

A common occurrence on Three Cent pieces of that period.
