Hey everyone.. Im a newbie. I'm posting about this coin b/c I couldn't find any info. Not to mention, I didn't know where to look! Anyone have any info on how rare this coin is or isn't? I've heard that mistakes have been pretty rare for a long time and that since this is a 2001 coin that it may be rare. Any info would be great! thank you!
Welcome to the forum Coins844. Your coin is an off center error. An off center error occurs when a coin is struck on a blank that was not properly centered over the anvil, or lower, die. Your coin is worth around $8.00 since it is in such good shape. Charlie
I think 2001 was the year that off center strikes are known most of. For some reason I think that was the year before they got the new machine that makes it almost impossible to make such strikes.... Speedy
Thanks for the quick responses! I guess I should get a little cover for it or something so that it stays in good shape! I work at a cash register and I found it opening up a roll from the bank. I try to find all the old or odd coins that I can! I have to check my coins for more stuff to post. Im happy I found this forum! My dad has a lot of cool stuff and I've been collecting stuff for as long as I could remember! Thanks again!
