I don't know if it is a real error or not, looks unusual on the reverse photo

 

then what might you think it is?

 

It doesn't look right because the unstruck part looks totally different than the struck part, but I am no expert on errors

 

I see what you are saying. the unstruck part is pretty dirty.

 

It's real. It is undated and worth about $7. The coin is definitely 1982-current because you can see the zinc stretches on the outside.

 

if it was dated would that add or subtract value?

 

It would most likely add value

 

i have one more coin that i actually found today while working and its not as off-center but it has a thick rim on part and no rim on the other.

 

I think that that is a misaligned die (MAD).

EDIT: IF it is centered on the reverse then it;s a MAD.

 

Love those kinds of errors!

 

5 or 10 bucks. I would just keep it.
