    Hi all,
    On my recent trip to Puerto Rico I visited a coin/toy/sports card shop at the Plaza Las Americas Mall Called Collector House..
    I purchased 6 Off Center Lincolns which I want to share with you -

    Very cool additions. I have to ask though what, if anything do you do to these coins with exposed zinc before they get put in a 2X2 or slab?

    Nothing really. Not much you can do. I have off centers with exposed zinc stored away in 2x2's or plastic trays with dividers and they look fine. I have had them for many years.

    I only ever saw (*Haven't been around that long) you post slabbed error coins. So you have a whole other part of your collection waiting to be shown! :) Or will you slab these at some point as well?

    I think I'd wet myself if I found that many for that price. Nice job.

    @paddyman98
    Is your goal to one day open your own shop?
    Or maybe to have your own table at shows?
    Just wondering...

    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    Great to find a whole group of them.

    Do these usually sell for much more than $5? I bought one several years ago from a dealer at FUN that just had a big bowl of them for $6 each.

    $4.00 - $6.00 is the norm for these type of Mint Errors.
    They are worth more if they are Older with the dates. And in great condition.

    Here are some from my collection (slabbed)
    In MS condition they are worth it...
    1972 - $8.00 $10.00 Raw
    The Wheat Cent - $10.00 - $15.00 Raw
