Do you folks think this coin is worth a premium?
I see one seller on ebay with some incredible errors. He has one similar perhaps a bit more dramatic for $3300. I don't know myself but I have no doubt some of you guys will.

No
with the fuzzy pic, I do not see an obvious error - is it rotated die medallic alignment?
I see no error. What do you think it is?
I see no error... just PMD and wear. Cheers, RickO
OP might be referring to a misaligned die.
Slight misaligned die is probably not worth a premium.

Oh, I get it. This is a guess-the-error game.
Maybe the seller was looking for $33.00 and accidentally added 2 more zeros?
If the coin actually had an error, then yes it would be worth some sort of premium. That coin in the picture appears to be normal (and rather ugly imo)
There is nothing there that would command a premium from any sensible collector. However, there seem to be quite a few collectors with more money than sense these days so, who knows?
What is the error you believe you see? In the future, you will get far more informative responses if you don't make your readers guess what you are thinking.

I'm not seeing an error, but maybe you could guide us to a particular spot on the coin.
It's happened before, fwiw

Thank you for answering my question. I appreciate your help in not making mistakes that could be expensive.
A seller has one on ebay that is a bit more dramatic and was curious if this would compare. I posted this this morning before heading out to work and was not able to respond until now. I'll pass on the coin in question.
Ebay item number is 255417974874
Not only is that hilarious I can't wait to see the reactions after OP posted an eBay coin that has nothing whatsoever to do the OP coin

That's not the same "error". A misaligned die is different than an off center strike. And a less than 5% example of either will rarely command a premium.
Quite. The ebay coin is an off center strike rather than a MAD.
But this is a worthwhile thread.
I'm learning that's all I can say. I now know what I didn't know and I appreciate it very much.
I'm laughing at the reactions, not you. @jmlanzaf called it out perfectly.
In the future, best practice is to ask if the board sees something specific or if you are recognizing something correctly rather than making people guess.
The above item number is for a 15% off center seated quarter.
This is the 10% off center 1861 half dime:

I agree the slightly off center / misaligned dies 1857 half dime is not worth a premium.
No problem I will do that in the future. Again I appreciate everyone's responses. I learn a little bit each day.
I just checked my Magic 8 ball and it said, "Outlook fuzzy check back later"
