Last night while rifling through my desk I found these two off-center coins that I must have bought long ago. I don't collect error coins and would like to sell them. Can any CT member give me a "ballpark" asking price for these two coins? Thanks in advance .
Those are both cool! In my experiences, off-center errors (especially world) don't bring a huge premium. I've bought a few (and seen others sell) in the $15-$35 range. If someone is looking for that particular date, then you might be able to get a bit more. The pictured one below cost around $25. When I showed it to an error dealer (to see what value they gave it) at a show, he offered $15 (I didn't sell).
I'm not sure on the Mexican coin, perhaps @paddyman98 can help you out since he is a big time error collector. The 84 is pretty cool (at least to me since it is my birth year!) though I have seen a pile of off-center quarters at my LCS for ~$10 a piece. I would expect that you would get an offer of less than that. Still, both are awesome coins! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks everyone for the info . I didn't expect to hit the jackpot with these two coins . The Mexican coin is by far the better of the two because of its size. I know larger size off-center-coins are more desirable because they're easier to spot by inspectors working at the mints.
Depending on the coin,no date/ date, percentage off struck, $10 to $25 Maybe more if the buyer is looking for one.
From my similar buying experience of slab examples - Mexico Off-Center $30.00 - $40.00 Quarter Off- Center $20.00 - $30.00
Mexican off-center errors from the 1980s are pretty common, but that doesn't mean they're not desirable. Both relatively inexpensive coins, but neat.
