Yes. That's an off-center strike. Pretty far off center too. Pretty cool.

 

Yes it is. Good pictures. Where did you get the coin?

 

In denver , i got back in change at a convenience store.

 

should i send it to grading ?

 

Wish something like that would come back in my change!

 

No. It's only worth maybe $5-$10(on a good day).

 

In change?? Really??

 

No.

 

Nice find. Possibly a left over from the Great American Coin Hunt. It certainly did not fit into a roll like that.

 

I bought this at a yard sale does anyone have any idea what kind of coin this is ?

 

Battle of Cowpens Medal I think. British Vs the Americans. Jan 17th, 1781. Not a coin though.

 

These regularly post at an LCS I go to for about $1-2. From what I've seen, most folks are looking for a date/partial date and 30-60% off center. Bidding on those can run up to about $10. What a terrific pick up though. I wonder if the cashier saw it and thought one second about what it was.

 

Nice!!!

I think I would do $15-20 if I ran across it!!

 

Does not require grading, but that's a great one.
Coins generally need to be worth $200 and up to make grading worthwhile.
Still a terrific coin.

 

The LCS near me has a big pile of them for $5. It is about the only decently priced thing they have.

 

Really a pile?? Wow mine don’t! About 15-20 errors and alittle high on price!! But have a lot of coins reasonably priced and a couple that..here the op’s coin would go 15-17 realistic

 

I found a 1945 penny with Lincoln's chin busted perfectly. is this worth any thing. or is this a common error

 

Same here but they sell at the same range the auction board fetches. They literally have a coffee can filled with off center cents for $1-2. They have a blank planchette on the board now. Asking price is $2.

I think the most I’ve paid was for a dime like the OP’s cent. It was the only dime I’ve seen hit the board. I paid $5. Cents and nickels are the main postings. I see some nickels go for around $7, but cents rarely go above $4.
