At What Point is it Not Advantageous for a Coin to be Off Center?

braddick

I know the State quarters carry a premium if they are off-center, but at what point is it not desirable? What Series are best to find without errors?
For example, the coin featured here. Would you rather have one that shows the date or one, being off centered? Of the two, one with a date, the other off centered without a date, which is more collectible?

Off centered with the date and mintmark is always better then off center without the date.

I think for one year types it does not metter, but for multiple year types, what Cammeron says is what I go with. I would much rather have a date. However, if trying to put together a clock of off centers, then obviously, you will have some without dates. And, in this case, I would prefer that all the coins in the clock are 40% to 60% off centered and DSBS (die struck on both sides). For the center of the clock, I would enjoy a really nice large broadstruck coin.

I am actually trying to put together the type of clock I mentioned. I have all the times, but not the correct percentages.

A key date where the offcenter is dateless. you've got an off center 1877 Indian cent but don't know it.
