I scan hundreds of error coins every day. Prices, Coins and oddities stick out to me.
I passed over this coin many times because of the outrageously high price for a certified PCGS Off Center Cent.
I hardly ever open up these overpriced items.
But, ......
I did notice the same seller had other high priced coins that were very nice? Hmmm????
Maybe perhaps I should check out this overpriced PCGS Off Center Cent.

I think they meant stuck on the obverse, didn't they ?
It's different......
No
It never hurts to check something out. That is a real nice looking error.
Wait till you see the reverse!!!
What are you waiting for - do you have to develop the photos in a dark room?
Looking forward to your pictures... that is an impressive error.... Any history on where it was found?? Cheers, RickO
Well, I think we can safely assume that this is one of the "legit" errors.

Fake! It’s a staple! Not a wire bristle.

Now THAT has to be unique.
I made a bunch of those years ago as Christmas tree ornaments... How'd you get one?
"Conveniently configured to hang on any wall!"
Wish my soldering iron didn't scorch through to the obverse :'(
BTW....I had to think hard in a different thread where it was stated that, "With error coins, grade usually means NOTHING" (paraphrasing). Not being an error collector, it didn't click at the time....
I think that phrase applies here. Just try to find higher graded one!
How did this happen? What’s the wire from?

Any chance the staple/bristle was embedded after the coin left the mint?
@BLUEJAYWAY : No, no chance.
So did you buy it?
I couldn't not buy it
What was the price tag?
