John1 brought this up, and I just looked on ebay and I was kinda shocked by the prices on there! Does anyone know what the value of this beauty would be? I would seriously never sell it because this is an amazing find for me, just wondering. This looks to me as about 20% off-center, I'm just so excited!

Best roll find I have ever seen!



It's definately up there on my list too. Finding an off-center Memorial is rare enough, but a 39 wheat in the wild is ULTRA rare. It' up there with finding a 92 CAM. Too bad it's not near as valuable....seems unfair. LOL

10% OC K11 Vg or F, hard to see wheat detail dated OC more valuable than undated and since it's that old. Anything can happen on ebay (a 1939 birthday, for example), it appears $50 would be fair.
search "off center wheat"

That's a spectacular find for a roll!

I wouldn't get it graded even if I were going to sell it. All the grading fees and time involved would cut into any potential profit.

I'm not sure it even would grade, it looks like there is corrosion.

Thanks Scoob! There's just a little bit near the hairline on the obverse, everything else looks pretty good. The wheat shows much better than in the pics, they have full lines. I'm not experienced at cleaning at all, so I hope the corrosion spot(if that's what it is) doesn't spread. I'm really happy that it has the date. From my learning from the community, that seems to be goin for me. Not too bad for a Cent

Put it up for auction here! I will throw some bids down :-O

Here is one on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/1935-10-Off-Cen...em2c585634bd

Yours is obviously circulated, but I would imagine in the $65-100 range.

I might do that before I fall completely head over heels for her... I think I would get a few bids, but I have never auctioned anything here before, nor do I know how...here's a few better pics anyway
