gilgerr24 Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 2:16 pm Hi everyone, went to a coin show today and found this 1863 Indian Head cent for a good price, and wondered if this would be worth much since it looks to be off center? Here are Pics of front and back. Let me know what you think. No damage just good condition. Thanks Rob Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 5:22 pm I believe this would be considered a broadstrike instead of off center since it is not missing any of the design. Unfortunately, there appears to be some corrosion on the reverse but it is still an interesting coin nonetheless. If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? Report this Post to the Staff
gilgerr24 Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 5:31 pm I only payed $3 for it. I got a 2nd 1863 for $3 also. Just was curious if it would be worth more than that. rob Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 5:38 pm I am not really familiar with errors so I wouldn't really know the value but I probably would have paid $3 for it. Report this Post to the Staff
gilgerr24 Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/10/2013 5:49 pm Ya I was think same thing. $3 for copper Indian head. Picked up an 1877 Indian head too graded ag3 for 250. I thought that was pretty cheap. Graded by Ngc. Report this Post to the Staff
