    There is not a year on this coin since only half was printed on each side. I don’t know how to look it up or figure out its worth. Can anyone help me?

    Cool off-center strike.
    Best way to narrow it down is to weigh it. If it is 3.1 grams, it is from 1959-1982. If it is 2.5 grams, it is from 1982-2008.

    Value? Maybe $5 or so. They are cool but not worth a ton.

    Very nice find! You have an off-center error coin.
    Unfortunately, it's not worth too much- maybe $4/$5.

    Ok, that’s neat. I don’t know where I’d weigh it to figure out the year. I guess it doesn’t really matter. Maybe I’ll just display it around the house somehow. I don’t really have any other cool coins and I’m getting rid of my state quarter collection because it’s time to clean out the house.

    Cool! Finally somebody with a legitimate error coin instead of a damaged piece!

    It's a relatively common error, and as @Legomaster1 indicated, not worth a whole lot monetarily, but it's neat. That one has a pretty dramatic off-center shift.

    Cropped your pictures a bit and am reposting them here full size. Can't do anything with the focus, unfortunately, but they're good enough to see.

    Won't make you rich, but fun find, nonetheless.

    If you really want to, balance a ruler over a pencil lying on a flat surface (like a see-saw). Place a pre-1982 cent on one side and your cent on the other at equal distances. If it balances it is 3.1g. Repeat with a post-1982 cent to check.

    Welcome to CT. That's a very nice off center Cent. A true Mint error. From the photos I can't tell but is the roof on the reverse floating or attached to the Memorial? I would place a value if no more than $5.00 on it but it's priceless if you found it.
