    Hey guys!

    Just picked up a pretty sweet error coin - wonder if you guys could "guesstimate" a value for me? I see similar ones in eBay completed listings for $15-20. 1968-Off-Center-Cent-Obverse.jpg 1968-Off-Center-Cent-Reverse.jpg

    Looks like it could be a 1968-D. $10 to $15 sounds about right.

    That off center with the date and mintmark still showing is more scarce. Most off centers on Lincoln cents are worth a few dollars(1-3ish range), I agree with Hobo.

    is that a scratch between the 9 and the 6 in the date? Looks to be about 15 to 20 dollars.

    I believe there is a scratch near the date. At first it appears to be some kind of die break but it looks like a pretty nasty gouge under a loupe. I think it's worn enough to look like something else. Plus, I think the raised area where we are thinking it's a D mint mark is just the end point of this gash. Shucks! Oh well, it's still a fun error....

    WOW! Nice find! The value is probably 15 or 20 bucks.
