also there is some obvious doubling on the reverse but I'm not sure if that's just a side effect of the off center strike or something different.

 

Mama Mia!
Nice find. $10-$12 bucks

 

Yes.. If it's a plated Cent the plating will be shifted and the doubling appearance will occur.
If not plated copper zinc then it's a smear.

 

thank you for the feedback!

 

Wow!! Heck of a find!!

 

can anyone confirm Paddyman98 $10-$12 price range. not saying you are wrong paddyman but i just want some confirmation. if so that would be great!

 

Yours is very very

3 More from my collection -

 

lol. how would you even grade the 95% off center? also, some great coins!

 

Yeah, Paddy knows his errors!
By the way that 95% is real cool!

 

nice find!

 

I can confirm that I paid something like that for something like this. Maybe a couple bucks less.

 

Nice to see a real error here for a change.
Sweet find. That's a permanent keeper.

 

Without A DOUBT it would go into my collection.

 

Thanks for all the feedback guys. got lucky again and picked up a 1984 proof dime in the hallway at school XD.

 

Weird. Back in the 80s there was a coin shop that had a display case of these. Thousands of them. He was selling them for something like .25 cents each. He told me they were worthless. If I'd have known they would become valuable I'd have bought as many as I could have. lol

 

awww. always get opportunities but you never know.

 

Many collectors (of anything) place a subjective (personal) value on an item's story/history (provenance). Sometimes an item's provenance adds objective (market) value. These finds are great, and although the market values may seem insignificant, the stories of the finds (I hope) add significant personal value.
