<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3163669, member: 92083&quot;]The key for many off centers which makes them more desirable/valuable depends on many factors. For cents, consider these generalities:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Off centers with full dates are worth more than those with no dates; coins with partial dates where the entire date can still be determined are worth less than full dates but more than those with no numbers showing.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Generally, copper off center cents are worth more than copper-plated zinc cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Off center zinc cents that don&#039;t have any of the grey zinc core showing are worth more than those that have grey areas showing.</p><p><br /></p><p>4. Off center wheat cents are worth more than off center lincoln memorial cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Off center steel cents or unplated zinc cents (missing all the copper coating) are worth than copper/zinc off centers.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Keep in mind, higher grades, number of contact marks, eye appeal, etc. can result if different values of one over another and affect these generalities.</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Off centers with additional errors can change these generalities.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Uncommon dates/mintmarks for off centers can affect these generalities.</p><p><br /></p><p>8. Mint Error News abd the Red Book have general values for off center coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with the others; you have a neat error but unless it has strong sentimental value (it was given to you by someone you were close who who has since passed away), don&#039;t send it in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
