Hello All. It has been a while since I have last posted on the forums. Working through a few medical situations and just have not have the time/energy to do much in the way of searching coins. I'm posting to ask a question on a coin I have posted in the past. Unfortunately I need to sell a few coins to make a little bank to help with the bills.

I was wondering if someone has an idea of what I might expect if I was to list this coin on ebay. I have very little to no knowledge of coins of this type. The coin is a 1981 Canada Cent Partial Collar Strike with a Off Center Reverse. Pictures to follow. Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

This coin has been circulated, it is probably getting close to a EF-45 grade. That fingerprint on the obverse is nasty. You might get $10 for that coin, on a good day. For some reason, 1-cent error coins from 1980 and 1981 are very common. You can buy a nice, red, MS-63 version of that coin for under $40. The further the coin is offstruck, the price tends to get steeper.

Thank you for the info. I guess that means I get to keep it. Sweet! I would rather keep all my coins. Sometimes situations occur that will make you consider things you never thought you would. :)
