off center halve

[goldinmypan]

Halves are getting hard to find around here. Only clads. I did find this 1971D that seems to be off center. Am I correct? Would that give any value?

Off-center strikes, like all error coins, have collector value; and generally, the greater the error, the greater the value. Yours appears to be only slightly off, however. According to www.coinsite.com:

Kennedy Half Dollar (1971- ) --------- 20%-40% off-center ------- $35 - $60.

Thanks for the info, I'll check out that site.

I've found some of these also...some off set more than others and it seems to be the 1971's...

If that's a legit off-center the reverse should show the same effect. If it doesn't than you've got a mis-aligned die (in this case the obverse die) which are neat looking but fairly common.

The reverse shows a very slight off centering. Almost not noticable.

Still, very interesting. You just never know what you might find in a roll (or in your pocket).
