    I'm not huge into collecting errors, but I do have a couple of coins like this that i've saved and slabbed over the years. What would you guys say is the approx. value of an off-center like this one? Thanks!

    A nice looking coin, But from what I can remeber off centers do not get that much premium unless it´s over 15% off center..........

    Yeh, the reverse is off in the opposite direction of the obverse. The ebay coin you listed referenced is almost exactly the same. Thanks.

    I would think your quarter will sell for the one listed in the link from 19Lyds. Similar percentage.

    how do you put a percentage on the amount that it is off? I'm assuming there is in fact a sceintific way? Thanks!

    ((Measurement of the widest point of the blank portion)/(Diameter of the coin)) X 100 = % off center

    If you have a cent (diameter 19 mm) and the blank portion at it's thickest is 5 mm then 5/19 = .263 times 100 = 26% off-center

    That is exactly how I figured it would be measured, but just wanted to confirm. Thanks!
