It is always hard to put a price on things like this because they are one-of-a-kind. Check out ebay and see if there is anything similar and check out the bids.
Rest in Peace

These are generally worth up to about $5 if uncirculated. Yours is worth something closer to $2 or $3.

While it is correct that every error of this type is a unique individual by default, it is still very possible to pinpoint a value for them because of their relative frequency to other errors. Since these are somewhat common, they have somewhat common values. The only exception would be for that occasional collector who is collecting them by date and mintmark - some dates are tougher to find than others, thus commanding a higher premium to such collectors. Given the fact that such collectors are far less common than a collector who just wants an example as a conversation piece, the premium is often not at the upper end of the scale.

nice off center. I love seeing more zinc through the copper plating on an error like such. Makes is look more drastic! Did you buy this or find it?

from a value standpoint it is good that you can still read the date. the one I found was offset to the point where the date is partially missing. nice find.
