The one on the left is struck off-center. The one on the right is silver coated.
Do either of these have any numismatic or collectible value?

| I dont think the off center one is "off center" enough to bring any value more than maybe a buck. |

| Yeah, I get coins like the one on the left all the time. I don't bother with them any more. They just go in the copper pile. |

It's got to be more than 10% off center to get any serious value from it.
It's fun to find the ones like you show, but I toss the Zinkers and just add the Cu to the hoard. |
There's profit if you melt things!!

Yep.

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

| I have seen lots of those "off-center" ones, and early on I would put them aside, but not any more. They aren't really rare or valuable. Don't waste your time on them. |
As far as I know, it is stated "In God We Trust" on the US dollar. How can I trust this currency if I do not believe in God?
Possession is nine-tenths of the law.
When I give my two cents, they're always copper! |
