[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 208399, member: 669"][img]http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif[/img] to CoinTalk neo. I'm sorry to tell you, but your coin is hardly unique. In fact it is more properly described as "scarce", not "rare". Off center strikes, especially of US cents, generally bring the highest premiums when they are at least 50% off center [b]and[/b] the full date shows. I haven't checked lately, but EBay sometimes has listings for clocks made with 12 off-center cents arranged to represent the numbers, each one off-center in a direction that lines up with the center of the clock. Since I don't collect errors, I can't quote a value, but being an XF/AU grade, with only the century part of the date visible, I suspect it's worth a couple of bucks or less. If the decade digit is 100% identifiable (and I can't tell for sure from the small picture), it might be worth a tad more. [b]Edited:[/b] I guess hamman88 types faster than I do. :p[/QUOTE]
