Are these Lincolns considered errors?

Or is there another term that would describe them a little better? Thanks in advance!

    Yes. Struck off center.

    Edit: maybe 10% off center? Maybe one of the error speacialists will chime in here.

    Yes , just barely off center. The second one is close to being a BS, but looks 5 % oc

    Notice the second one.

    Does it seem the reverse die is a bit more off to one side than the obverse die???? Maybe it's just me.

    Not really. I think it might just be the pic. What is the value of one of these anyway? 1 cent?...lol

    $2.00, maybe. I would have a hard time selling them at $3.00.







  • Since all of the devices are present; I would call these examples uncentered broadstrikes. And, yes, they are valued in the $2-$5 range.
