A friend sold me a 1993 quarter that's was struck a little less than 10% off center.

What's something like this worth? It's about MS63 and there is no reeding on the edge so it was struck out of collar. I thought it was neat so I paid $2 for it.

Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    $2 bucks was a steal! Sometimes these go for $20 to $30 raw!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Thanks for the info. It's not worth the cost of grading and, if it were slabbed, you would lose part of the visual effect of the error since the plastic ring would cover the edge of the coin.

    Less than 10% off center and with a full date, it's worth on the order of $10 or so. Had it been closer to 50% off center and still dated it could get up to the $25-30 mentioned in another post.

    Value is what you think something is worth.

    Real value is what someone else is willing to pay.

    True Value is a hardware store.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
