1983-P Error Quarter opinions please

I bought this and a few other errors today and would like some info on what it might be worth. I have the highest respect for the people on this forum.

This is a 1983-P Quarter (the key date for the clad quarter series) that was struck off center. I would like to know your opinions as to its value and if you think I would be wise to send it to PCGS prior to selling it?

    The '83-P is actually one of the more common dates for off-center quarters, I've seen at least a dozen filtered through an Len Roosmalen's (now Jim Essense's) auctions in the last couple of years. Also, in general the further off-center the strike, the more desirable the coin.

    As I implied in your other thread, unless you find two guys fighting over them for a date set, they're not worth all that much. Definitely not worth slabbing in my opinion, probably on the order of $10-$20 each.

    If it was a State Quarter OC the same one would be $100.
