The full date barely hit the coin. It's nearly perfect in shape, unlike some of the other errors I've seen that are like this one. It cuts off Abe's forehead as well as all of the upper words. On the backside, the o in one cent is half there, otherwise it's gone. Anyone know its worth? I just want to see if my estimate (<$25) is right or not.   09-11-2005, 05:22 PM   #2 (permalink) bulldawg Senior Member     Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: S.E.Kansas Posts: 225 According to my Red Book it lists for $3.50 and welcome to the forum __________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind....Dr. Suess Last edited by bulldawg; 09-11-2005 at 10:01 PM.   09-11-2005, 09:37 PM   #3 (permalink) huntsman53 Supporter**   Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Jefferson City, Tennessee Posts: 3,008 azlizzie, Can you post pictures of both sides of the coin! Once we see it, we can better judge the value! I have quite a few Off-Center Cents that are BU and I know that they will bring anywhere from $5 to $15 on eBay, if I decided to list them.
