[QUOTE="rrekowjr, post: 2085845, member: 27204"]Good day Coin Talk, I have recently started collecting Jefferson Nickel errors and varieties and I was curious as to whether there was any benefit in value to having an off-center Jefferson Nickel with full steps? From what I have read, and please understand I haven't read more than a handful of articles, so I apologize in advance for making an assumption based on this information but it appears that off-center strikes tend to be of a higher value based on a greater percentage of the strike missing. As an avid Jefferson Nickel collector I pride myself on properly identifying and collecting full step nickels but as a novice error coin collector I am not sure how or if these factors intersect. Please know, I have tried looking for existing threads without any luck but if this is the case, would a nickel with the maximum percentage of being off-center (maybe 40 - 60%), while still being able to designate it as having full steps, be more valuable than a 90% off-center nickel or an off-center nickel without full steps? Or in general, how much does the rarity or value of the coin before the error affect the overall value? Thank you and I will try to post some photos of my new collection later. Thanks again, Raul[/QUOTE]
