Off Center Coins
by
Robert Wilharm, WINS#326

Here is an old time favorite that I think folks will like. With the new Mint Die presses there will be no more Off Center Coins. The Mint has already removed all the old presses I am told and the new ones can't do Off Centers of more than 5 to 7% max. If there is a 50% Off Center next year I am betting the bidding will start at a thousand dollars. That figure is based on the last 2004 off center sold on ebay at over $500.
