    I am learning about error coins. Is this an of centered penny? No sure if I know what to look for. If it is an error coin is it worth anything?

    It kind of looks like a broad strike to me. I am just a newbie though.

    What it is.. It's a Misaligned Die Strike on the Obverse, always provide pictures of both side of any coin when you have a question. I'm sure the Reverse side is centered properly.

    What it is worth.. 1C
    The Cent misalignments are very common and not considered a major error with any premium unless it occurs on a larger denomination such as

    Thanks for the replies! I kinda figured it was common but I am learning what to look for. Sometimes the cool finds are very noticeable and sometimes it's such a small detail that even looking for it you could miss it.

    Off centered coins are more severe with more of the planchett being blank. They are worth a little more when more of the planchett is blank, like say if was 70% off centered. Also worth more when the date is showing.

    Just for my reference, what does a mis-aligned 50 cent go for on average?
