Question
I've found a penny, date uncertain, but fairly new, which is the same size as a regular one, but was misstamped. Only about 2/3 of the engraving is shown on each side, with the rest of the coin plain. Can you tell me anything about it? Thanks so much.
Hi Gay,
Off-center coins are not that rare. I have handled quite a few over the years and they are available n eBay for a few dollars each. Check eBay for one like yours for a current value.
I hope this helped you.

| Comment | Thanks Joe! I found it in a batch of coins my neighbor brought over to give to my grandchild. If it was valuable, I would have returned it to her, but now, I know my grandaughter will be thrilled to have it. Thanks again. Gay | ||
