Default Off Center double Stamp

I found a 1973 penny that is obviously off center. Please forgive my ability to produce pictures, this veo cam only makes decent pic during daylight. If it isnt viewable; i will try again tomorrow.

any value? its actually in decent shape or a dig up.

Hey Captain, taken from the Whitman Red Book:

"Values are for coins with approximately 10-20% of design missing from obsolete coins, or 20-60% missing from modern coins."

It basically says that the more off center it is the more valuable, long as there's a readable date.

Smile Neat mint error

Mint errors are always neat. I used to have quite a collection of them when I was a kid. Values and kinds of mint errors can be found through this link:
Coins & Coin Collecting - Resources for All Types of Coins
The mints seem to be having more problems now than when I was collecting errors.
Happy hunting (check your dollar coins!!!).
