Burks Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 The local show I go to has off center cents for $3-$5 depending on condition, how off center it is, and if the date is visable. I've never bought one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bga27 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 $3-5 to me is a little steep, but to a serious collector whos looking for everything, it's a good price. i just got some penny rolls at the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 $3-5 to me is a little steep, but to a serious collector whos looking for everything, it's a good price. i just got some penny rolls at the bank. These are BU examples so the price will be higher. The more circulated ones are about $1-$2. Honestly I don't know how some of these things even circulated! Take one look and you'd think "man, how do people let these go?" If you are into die varities, you may want to consider picking up the book titled "The Complete Lincoln Cent Encyclopedia" by Shane M. Anderson. Check your local library, they may carry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
