I've heard from others here 50% or so

 

More then 10%-15%

 

agreed, 10-15 percent, but it must be a whole lot more to really pique the interest of collectors/dealers.

 

o well thought i might of got lucky. thanks for the info i appreciate it.

 

10%

 

As far as it can go and still have a date might be the most valuable.

 

I'll say that the field has to reach the outer edge of the rim. Your example is only half way there.

 

First of all it has to be off-center and I don't believe that is an off-center. I think it is probably a misaligned die. If a coin IS an off-center it has a premium value no matter how small the percentage is, but the premium value rises the further off it is, up to a point. Usually once they get past 75% off the value starts going back down. Also a dated piece is more valuable than a non-dated piece.

A misaligned die can also have a premium value but only if part of the design is off the coin.
