Ant76 Valued Member United States 320 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 12:35 pm What type of error are these called? Why does the rear of one look as though it has solder on it? Are they worth anything? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 12:38 pm Off center strikes. What looks like solder is zinc showing through.Check e-Bay spld values. I think $2 to $5 John1 Edited by John1 08/19/2014 12:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 12:44 pm These are called off-center errors, which means the planchet was partially struck because it was misaligned with the die. They appear to be minted in and after 1982 because the zinc can be seen. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 4:51 pm First thoughts off center zinc cents, Struck between 1982 and 1992. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
Coins101 Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 5:09 pm Halo1st they are off center but the years are definitely wrong. Its 1982-2008 then the design changed. Its obvious they are both zincs. Nice coins Ant76! Usually the ones showing the full date carry more premiums than no dates. Edited by Coins101 08/19/2014 5:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/19/2014 5:20 pm Coins101, I could be wrong, but thought there was a design change after 1992, that has me thinking pre 1993. Just going by the looks of STATES. The "A" seems centered. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 08/19/2014 5:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
