I'm feeling a bit off center... you?

I sent in some off-centers for fun and got the TVs this morning. They may not be as spectacular as a MS65 IHC with date at 60% off but I like 'em. Anyone else have any off-centers to show?

    Nice finds. I have none of those.... Were they purchased? Or found in bags/rolls? Cheers, RickO

    They were purchased. A couple I got from years and years ago but these three were from eBay. I've never had the patience to buy bags and sift through them, lol.

    Cool off-center you have @Kliao !

    Nice that they have the dates.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    That has always been my criteria for getting any off-centers. It hurts my OCD to not see a date in a way because I always wonder what date it is, lol.

    Take extra care storing those coins showing exposed zinc which is extremely reactive.

    Definitely. Being slabbed will help which is one reason I went ahead and did it. Thankfully where I live there doesn’t seem to be much of an issue with that. Even zinc cents I saved from 20-30 years ago look the same.

    Thanks

    That’s why it’s on an airtight. I don’t think it’s worth it to have it slabbed though. I did have a thread on the off center I have above a-little bit back on what to to with the exposed zinc.

    Too bad the 1998 wasn't the WAM cent. Nice coins regardless. . :)

    Finally found it. I knew I had one lying around somewhere. I had this when I first started collecting. Nothing big but qualifies to be in your show. Lol

    Am I feeling a "bit off center?" Strange you should ask. As a matter of fact I've been feeling a bit off center for the past two weeks.......Actually a LOT off center. It all started when I got "bit" by that damn rattlesnake. Whoa Nelly!

    I think these were dirt cheap in the early 80s. They must’ve been, because I went to a coin show and bought one when I was 10.

    It’s no longer in that 2x2. The dealer I bought it from at a show must have had it for a while (or bought it from someone that had it for a while).

    Hey, TurtleCat. I appreciate the LOL.......but it's no joke. I'm a lucky man. I'm still alive. I only learned upon my release from the hospital that my chances were slim to none. Slim won. I want to say God bless to the California Poison Control team from San Diego. They made a breakneck 90 mile trip with the antidote. They saved my life.
    Life is beautiful. It's precious. I know that now more than ever before...... Look into the eyes of the ones you love..... That's what it all about my friends. I know.
