    What would a 1919s 30% off center Lincoln Penny be worth catalouge value?? i cannot find any references even close to this year set, for example...i do not want to overpay for it, any help would be appreciated, thanks! john

    This kind of error is not really catalogged. To find the value, send a picture of both sides and show us, and then we might be able to determine a value.

    Pictures are needed to see condition and possibly authenticity if it’s not graded.

    The back looks a little sketchy, but that might just be from the photos. You said you didn't want to pay over price for it, right? Just send us the link to the site or whatever your buying it from. Unless it's an app.

    I’m leaning to a counterfeit because the T and the U in trust have a strange spacing and appear tilted. The reverse also has E Pluribus UNUM tappers off. JMHO. @JCro57 what do you think? Correct me if I’m wrong.

    well, it is already up to 22.50..too much of a gamble, not knowing what the price would be for on, i had gone as high as 22.00, guess gonna let it go..there is still 7 days to go on this one...

    One important thing to look at is the seller.
    He seems to be legit. Over 2300 items listed with 100% feedback. So that's a positive look.
    Now if the cent is legit it is hard to say. Looks like it will sell at a high price. I'm following it now so let's see how high it goes.

    i just bought (from a buy it now) on ebay, from a diff. seller 1 1919 laminated cent for 12.00..once the bidding gets higher than 20 or so i get a little scared, as values stated on here are low, (BUT MEANWHILE IN THE REAL WORLD) i see prices going crazy for errors, I am a flea market dealer, and plan to do some shows in the future as well (coins)..as i used to do some 40 years ago...so been buying normal coins on the cheap, roughly 1/2 to 1/3 of market for speculation of that endeavour..but errors i collect for me..i went to some of the legit error dealers (off e-bay) and the prices are in the hundreds to many thousands for errors..some of the ones in their catalouges i see on ebay for a fraction (if raw) so...any help i get on here is much appreciated..i do not want to get fleeced...
