I got this 1899 IHC (the one on the right) with quite a significant offset hammer strike. I have Littleton Coin checking out the possible value.  Anyone have an idea of the possible value? It's Good or Average Circulated grade.

 If the reverse is centered it means it's a Mis-Aligned Die (MAD)

GrapeCollects is correct this would be a misaligned die, not off center, they can be confusing to a new collector, while these are still very collectible, don't pay off center money for one, which would be 10-100 times more than it would be worth. There is no real answer as to what misaligned die strikes are worth, some say less as they aren't perfect, but those that collect varieties may like them due to the different factor, and if it's severely misaligned it could be worth a good premium. I know I paid about 10 times the price for a really misaligned Two Cent Piece once, but I also look at a lot of Two Cent Pieces in my search for various die varieties and different die marriages, I had never seen one like it, so I placed a strong bid on ebay to acquire it, doubt it will ever be worth the $75.00 I ended up paying for it (raw 1864LM in F-12), but I did get 3 other two centers in the lot, so I maybe paid $50? Fred Weinberg saw it and said it's neat but wasn't worth any premium to him, and he is one of the "big" error dealers.

@lurch66, first welcome to CCF. Quote: I have Littleton Coin checking out the possible value.
I wasn't aware that they performed this service. If you don't mind, please follow up on this thread with their thoughts as that could be interesting.

I have done a lot of business with Littleton over the years, they are a fair company especially when selling, I always got a higher offer from them on most items offered for sale, the checks always cleared.
