I got this in some change about 30 years ago. I'd say they were a little off mark when it was struck.

That is a killer coin. I would love to find one like that some day.

Sweet!! I would love finding and of course keeping errors like that. And I'm not even a coin collector...

About 25 years ago, I called a coin dealer and told him what I had. He said that they really weren't that valuable. After looking on ebay, it seems he was telling the truth. Doesn't really matter because I still think it is pretty neat.

The ones with dates showing and those farther off center are worth more. So $10-$20 for a coin that is worth a penny otherwise isn't too bad.
