This is a off center penny I found. I think it is a cool coin, I'm wondering how rare a coin like this would be. And if you know how much its worth it would be nice to know :) Thanks  |

Nice find...Strike appears to be around 35% - 40% which is a lot for Canadian one cents from what I have seen. These occur in many years but seem more prominent in the years 1965, 1979 & 1980 if memory serves me correct. As for price I'm thinking $20.00 plus... This is the first one I have seen from the centennial year and it's a beauty...congrats..  |

For US coins at least, errors on one-year type coins tend to be worth more than a generic date error. Nice OC |

I collect mint state 1c error coins, and I can say that your coin is rare enough that I am drooling...

There was another 1967 penny 50% off center that sold on ebay a few weeks ago... I was going to buy it but missed the auction :(....dont remember the final price unfortunately but it was probably in the $50-$100 range. |
