Rickpeny New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 8:37 pm I did my first post a couple of days ago and the coin community really helped me out with my "grease" penny. I mentioned that I worked in a bank and got a few nice collectables. One of my jobs was rolling coins back in 1974. In a new bag of pennies from the mint I found these pennies. These jammed up the machine. I'm not sure what they are worth but I was pretty happy when I came across them. Report this Post to the Staff

That being said, very nice coins. You had these since 1974? They are in great condition.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 8:45 pm to the CCF! These are off center strikes. The dated coin looks like it's about 45% and the other coin looks like it's 55-60% off center. Off center strikes sell for $5-$12 with the dated coin being worth more. Nice coins!

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 03/16/2021 9:22 pm Id actually pay a little more for certain off center strikes that have the date showing, especially better dates, but probably on the 15 to 20 dollar range tops. Report this Post to the Staff

Older ones you can find , mainly from error dealers, modern ones since 2002 you don't find because with the horizontal striking presses if the planchet isn't in the collar it falls out of the press, also they incorporated additional riddler/sieves to weed out mis-strikes before they get to the bagging station.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 03/17/2021 6:20 pm EXCELLENT finds! These are called off center errors. I got lucky about 20 years ago. During one of my frequent visits to my local shop my dealer showed a ziplock bag of errors he just took in hours before. The person that sold them also worked as a bank teller and collected them over time. Of course, I bought the whole bag because he simply doubled the money he paid her earlier....and I still got them for song. Lincoln Cent Lover!
