Question
i have a penny that only half of the penny is printed on both sides.it cuts off lincoln's head and says 19??.is it a good find or what?

Answer
Hello Matt,                         

This sounds like an off center strike. It should be seen by a dealer to decide its value. If it is a mint defect it may sell for $3 to $5.

I also want to mention COMBINED ORGANIZATION of NUMISMATIC ERROR COLLECTORS ASSOCIATION; they are the ultimate experts in the error coin field.  
CONECA is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Re-punched mint marks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers just to name a few.

If you need a coin dealer in your area feel free to write me back.
Thank You and Good Luck
