Worth sending in? Error? Die?

[Jeff S]

Im not up on error and or die cut coins and I know being a 1976 its not worth alot.

But is it worth anything to send this coin in to PCGS or NGC and if so whatTPG should I send into?

This was a coin I pulled from pocket change in 1977-1978 and just now re found it in a box of 410 shotgun shells.

 

 

Thanks

I dont know if I would send it in but if you put it on ebay you could probally make a few bucks on it.

Nice off-center jefferson there Ted. I don't know if it would be worth it to slab. That may be a judgement on your part. I think the error itself would sell it, if that's your goal.

It looks like it has a scratched reverse and would likely bag.

It could still be designated in an ANACS slab.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks more like a Broad-strike, then an off center coin.

The rim is what's got me confused the rim should be off center as well but it's not.

You may be right Richard. I'm not good with errors.

This is an off-center strike worth a couple to a few dollars, but unquestionably not worth certification from a financial standpoint.

Thanks for the input eveyone.

Next question is what would I call this? A error off center?

2-8% off center it looks like to me.very slight but kool!

Excerpted from Official Price Guide to Mint Errors by Alan Herbert:

 

Broadstrike. A coin struck outside the collar, so that the coin metal squeezes sideways from between the dies, the coin being larger than normal in diameter.
