A person has been listing this coin for sale for over a month slowly lowered price from $150 to $99. Does this coin look legit to you guys? Is it worth his asking price? I am not too familiar with pennies, but looks rare to me.  |

Does (s)he show the obverse?
Personally, I wouldn't pay more than about $10 for that coin unless there was something else special that needed to be taken into consideration.
If you want an off-center Lincoln, just ask someone here at CCF for one.

No photo of obverse. If only worth $10 would explain why it hasn't sold in the month he has listed it.

Do they say what year?
If someone were trying to put together a complete set of off-centers, they might pay a little more. But, nowhere near $99 I wouldn't think.

No mention of year. If someone wants me to inquire about year, let me know.

The reason about the question of the year is that one with a date is worth more than one without. I'm guessing the obverse has no date, thus no obverse image.

I will ask for an obverse photo and upload if one is sent.

They may not know. The year may be just barely off the coin, which might be why they didn't put up a pic of the obverse. Or it has something wrong that they don't want us to see. Who knows.
Either way, run!

Wait for a coin show--you'll have your pick of off-center LMCs for far less money.  Edited by DVCollector

Well, if you could get a shot of the designer's initials, it could become slightly more interesting if it is a WAM. |

AM in America is not on the back of this coin. Just outside the scope! Definitely not going to buy this coin, but was a great chance to learn about these types of errors. Thanks.

But, if we could see the designer's initials we would know if it was a WAM or not. |

A local dealer here collects the off-center strikes and makes a clock out of them. If I'm not mistaken, he sells his off-centers for around $10-$15.

Over-priced, go with Coop's coin if you want one. The 2000 is a nice example because of the way it's off center, but not worth $100, maybe $30 or so IMO. BTW - It's neither coin is a WAM. If they were, they'd easily be worth $100+. |
