Not worth much. The date is what makes these worth $$$$$$

Wow another nice find... Doesn't need a date ;) often times these errors don't! Off-center & double struck... I am not exactly sure! But I am sure you'll get the correct error answered here shortly! Another really nice find! Can't wait to see what else you have to post up! :)  |

Nice find! Certainly worthy of a 2x2.

Looks like an off center with an indent.

That's a nice find! It is an extreme offcenter strike. I don't see an indent. Yes, the date not being present may lower its value somewhat, but it's not a high dollar coin in either case. It is definitely a keeper and worth much more than one cent. It looks to be a copper cent, but the weight of it (as said) will answer that. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Can you please clarify what you mean by indent vs no indent?

Instead of being struck with two dies, there also an issue with a struck through anther planchet, preventing the devices being struck. Thus you have on one side devices, the other side, no devices. Kind of a two way accident. Thus on your coin there could have been a partial number as the date was prevented because of a second planchet or partial struck coin was also present.

More food for thought, concerning the pushed material opposite the off center strike. Is the edge showing an indent? Trying to determine if cause occurred after strike or during. Tough to tell in some cases. The one image suggest a similarity with the 1:00 position referenced below. Thanks, Doug. http://www.error-ref.com/4436-2/Edited by Halo1st

I want to sincerely thank everybody for participating in this discussion. I am finding this to be very interesting and informative. @Halo1st It sounds very similar to what you posted, though the 1 o'clock positioning is not a match. I do believe it is the same concept of the opposite edge of the coin striking the adjacent striking chamber. You can definitely see signs of a "concave notch and associated pressure ridge", though not nearly as severe as the one shown in your linked article. I have done my best below to orient the coin next to another full strike coin by overlapping the "UNIT" lettering on the two coins.   |
