[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1583541, member: 15929"]Value, is what you feel comfortable with. If you're new, it's best to watch a few listings and see where they end and how they end. If you want to get a professional opinion on value, get an account on Heritage and start watching off-center error listings. As for off center errors, just like any other coin, the higher the grade on the off-center, the higher the value. Some of the junk which gets schlepped off on ebay are fairly low grade coins which is why most show up with BIN's instead of actual listings. An actual listing would attract minimal bids and end up selling fairly low and these sellers know it. A professionally graded, high grade off-center coin will have no problem attracting serious bidders. Something else that adds to the value is the percentage of off center. A 10% Off Center would sell or less than say a 20%. Also keep in mind, that even the TPG's differ on how to calculate off center percentages. I've seen 5% and 10% that appear identical. I think the best advice is to simply shop around and be patient. You also might want to check out Fred Weinberg on eBay since he's been in the business since before bread was sold sliced and he really knows his stuff.[/QUOTE]
