    It's up to you whether you get it graded or not and if it's financially feasible.

    You need to show pictures of the entire coin obv and rev.

    Can't tell if it is off center unless you show full coin photos of both sides.
    The odds are, it is not worth the expense of getting graded.
    Even if it is off center (which is doubtful) it would have to be seriously
    extremely off center to be worth anything.

    The coin is way off-center, maybe 50%!

    Yes that is very nice.
    I'm not sure of the value, but it's not worth the money to get it graded,
    as collectors and dealers know what it is worth, and unless you want it documented
    there's no reason to throw over $30 away.

    That's a very nice error coin.

    For example. Suppose it's worth $50. Well now you are spending $35 to get it graded, and you can sell it for $50. If you don't get it graded you can still sell it for $50. (I don't know the value, just illustrating a point. It could be worth $20, $30 whatever.)

    Not worth getting it slabbed , but still cool to keep raw.

    I agree.

    @coinman2
    You can send any coin to have it graded error or not. Grading has to do with the condition of the coin. You would send a mint error to have it attributed. That's an additional service which you would pay an extra fee.. Are you currently a member of any TPG service? You can go to their websites and see how much (and costly) the fees are.

    In my experience, most dealers don't know a lot about errors & varieties. They just don't have the time to spend searching for them.

    I'd say it's worth certifying it only if you want to.

    The cost of the certification/two way postage, etc.
    will exceed the value of the O/C Nickel.

    I've sold about 4 of this exact date, very similar
    off center strikes, on Ebay in the past few months -
    they bring $18 to $25 at the most.

    You could sell those all day long on EBAY raw and ungraded. Why waste the money?

    I was going to guess $20-$30 but I don't know.
    And if FW says they go from $18-$25 then you have to accept that as the value.
    (To me) A coin really has to be worth a minimum of $200 to pay the grading fees.
