Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 6:09 pm I recently picked up this 199? off-center Memorial cent in a group of U.S. coins and was wondering what a coin like this typically sells for. Thanks for any information. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Not sure on the value, but you can check ebay's sold value on similar Off Center coins. For example, my 20 percent Off Center LMC from 1999 is worth about 20 dollars (Checked ebay's sold values). I would say your coin is worth about 15 dollars. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 7:00 pm Since yours lacks an identifiable date, I'd say $15 tops, likely less. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 7:22 pm I think it would be lower -- around $8. It's a nice pick-up but I worry about the zincolns deteriorating. Keep it safe and dry. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15500 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 7:27 pm I'm the contrarian here Paul ... I've seen buckets of these non-date identifiable off center LMC for sell at shows for asking prices in the $3 to $4 range. If it had a full date ... then concur with the higher prices suggested. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
ElonU Pillar of the Community United States 703 Posts	Posted 03/27/2018 8:23 pm While not extraordinarily valuable without the date, I think these are really cool to own. My wife pulled one from her register years ago, kept it....and low and behold, married a coin guy! Guess it's more sentimental to me than anything, but these are keepers!

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 03/28/2018 04:50 am With a date will be worth more,without a date worth less. Check ebay sold values and you will get an idea of current retail value. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 03/28/2018 06:06 am I have a few of these. I picked them out of a dealer's junk box in Sydney, for $5 each. Pennies and dimes, mostly. About the same amount of gross off center strike. Report this Post to the Staff
