1979 off-center strike

#1 Unread post by karl.bursa »

Got this 1979 off center in my last box. Is this enough to matter or within the margin of error and just a neat collection piece? Thanks! :confused:

This is within mint specifications and adds no extra value, you will find these a lot.

Thanks, guys. Given some of the INSANE off-center strikes I've seen on YouTube recently, that's what I figured. I'll put it in my Most Excellent Errors book.

Keep in mind, when you're looking at "Off-Center" strikes....
Try to collect the ones that include the DATE on the coin.
