    WHOA! Looks like you've got an off center missing clad layer Indian cent! Where'd your friend get it? I'm no expert either, but it looks like quite a bit! :D

    Really kid....missing clad layer.....they hadn't even thought of clad back then....it is total copper and its just the photo that makes it look that way.

    I saw one that had damaged and less off center than that go for about $60-$90....

    Nice off crnter strike. Like Speedy I have seen one with less of an off center go for about $100. But that much off may carry a premium. I will let an error expert answer that.

    It's struck nicely off-center but in the photos it appears to be well worn. I cannot make out any part of LIBERTY on the headband. Clearer photos would be dersireable but I'd probably cap a bid at $75.

    I saw this same one on EBay at least a month ago. It's a pretty good error, but I question it's authenticity.

    Given its state of wear, I'd estimate this off-center Indian cent would bring $125 on eBay.

    I think you should try to find coin shows in your area and go to a few. If nothing else they are educational as to prices, availability, methods to buy and sell coins and a whole lot more. As to that coin I can't see if the date is complete. With offsets that is usually one of the biggies in price. If you can not tell the date and/or mint marks on coins the price drops substantially. The best place to buy such coins is at a coin show and the best place to sell them is on ebay.
    As already stated e need a better photo to establish any kind of estimate or guesses.
