(50% off center print) 1979 Lincoln error penny 1 1

[meaggiimoo]

HI EVERYONE! 

As I’ve been digging through my grandfathers collection, I’ve come across a 1979 Lincoln penny that is about 50% off center strike. The date, most of Lincoln’s head and the liberty are still visible. I know that errors and misprints are typically valuable but I am having a hard time finding a similar coin that is so much off center. I will post photos below. Thanks!
