I've had this for a few years, but I don't know what kinda value it has. It's my only error coin and I'm the opposite of an expert on the subject. Sorry about the little fuzzes on Lincoln's shoulder and elsewhere.   |

Newbie here.... Respectfully see some on ebay in the $10 -- $15 range. You have a better coin ... because it is really off center |

That little? Wow. I would have expected that off-centers would be a decent amount.  |

I see coins like this in that range some may be more valuable or rare, think if ya have a off center and can still read the full date those fetch a premium but I am sure someone with alot of experience will post to this thread

Off-centers like that are actually pretty common. I have one almost like yours, and I got it for about $17. I think that is probably all you would get for it.

They are usually a little more valuable when they have a full date.  with Maineman750, $8-$12, but a very nice error! |

It gets a little more interesting when full date, but area of mint mark not present. I know it's an 1983P, but if you didn't pull it from a bag or roll?  |

Minor off-center strikes, along with minor clips, are the most common error types. However, OCs post-2002 are much rarer due to the use of riddlers at the US Mint which remove almost all off-sized coins. |

On modern coinage, 2002+, I would say the most common errors are partially collars followed by broadstruck coins. Off centers are rare and dont show up very often and seem to come from only a few sources.

I thought the CCF rules forbid posting PICs in a thread like this one? Oh well. Just following suit, more or less. Guess this Eisenhower is expensive. In general the bigger the coin, the value goes up rather exponentially. I don't know its value. Or how it got out of the MINT? Really, Really, hope to own one (close) to this much out of center.  |

Part of the Mint's quality control efforts to reduce error escapes included the discontinuation of coin shipments to banks in canvas mint bags, the previous primary source of errors. Those canvas bags could contain many goodies like the Ike you posted. Currently, all coinage is riddled(size exclusion separation) and then packed in massive kevlar ballistic pallets that hold hundreds of thousands of coins and then shipped to armored carriers where the coins are rolled for bank distribution. If it doesn't fit in a roll, it will not enter distribution channels which is why many post-2002 errors are so rare now. Edited by biokemist6

Oh My ====>  <==== Really makes me want to open that 200 count bag of 2012 Kennedy half dollars, to see if I get lucky, with even one ERROR. Down side, I might be able to sell 'em (some day) for what I paid for the bag, if I leave it sealed. |

I wouldnt be surprised if the coins in canvas bags currently being offered have been run through the riddler.Actually, I would be surprised if they didn't. |
