RRick W Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 RRick W here, I don’t know much. I stumbled up on this 1972 penny in good condition, with a double rim from “in” to Lincoln’s left-most point. It is also off center, and I’m not sure if it’s a “cud” in the edge directly under Lincoln. Memorial side is clear and centered. Nothing else seems to be doubled or disfigured. Is this coin valuable? Is it worth spending 40 or $50 to get it graded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Welcome to the forum. I don't think your coin is worth the expense of having it graded. Those off center strikes don't usually sell for much of a premium unless some of the lettering runs off the edge of the coin. Nice luster, though.

Greenstang Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It could also be a Misaligned Die. Without seeing the reverse, you can't tell if it is an Off Centre Strike or a MD. In either case, there is not much of a premium as it is a minor error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
