Value for off-center strikes increases based off of a few factors.
1) Is the date visible? Yes+ No-
2) Percentage off struck. The more, the better. Keep in mind factor #1. Collectors WANT to know what year the coin was struck. (my avatar is post '82, I only know this because of the wieght). Mine is not very valuable because the latter half of the date is MIA. I found it in pocket change though so I like it.
3) Condition (obviously).
Yours is post copper era which slightly detracts from the interest. People don't seem to care for Zincolns the way they do pre 82's. However, it's in great shape. On the other hand it's only about 15% off center. 50%+ off (data intact) generate the highest premiums.
