How valuable are off center IH cents?

I'm looking at an off center IH cent that is an 1899 - how much off center is it, and what kind of value should it have?

Sinin1,

Off center and other error IHCs command high premiums. Depending on the % off center, is the date visible, and the grade, low end about $130 and high end, $2000+.

I'd guess (very rough) $500 - $800 for the coin you posted.

I don't know much about them, but I developed a web site for one of the most experienced error coin dealers in the hobby. You can take a look around his inventory and see what he's offering them for, or you can e-mail him that image and he'll shoot you a rough value.

woah.

I'd definitely get in touch with Fred Weinberg or Mike Byers...they're the big error coin dealers. They'll definitely have interest in that piece.

I had one that was 10% off-center graded AU-58 by PCGS that I sold for $250.

That coin is so much more dramatic I would think it's worth much more. I agree with Pushkin $500-$800. Probably closer to the higher side.
