What is the value of a penny that is only half stamped on the front and back?

You have what is known as an "Off-Center Strike Error".
This happens more often than you might think. With all the billions of pennies minted, many thousands of these errors find their way out of the mint and into circulation.
Depending on how much off-center your coin is, its value will range from a couple dollars to about $50 -- having a visible date usually adds to its value.

∙ 18y agoThis odity, unfortunately, is not worth a great deal of money mostly because the date IS missing. I have a number of such coins and the most I was ever offered for one was 50 cents. They're more of an oddity than a collector's item. They're usually worth more than 50 cents. Here's a completed item from eBay that sold for $4.75 + 2.50 shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/Lincoln-Penny-50-off-center-error-beautiful-error_W0QQitemZ8330743178QQcategoryZ524QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem There are several with higher starting prices. While it is true that these off-center error cents will often sell for more on eBay, it's also true that you can get them from dealers at the coin shows for a dollar or two.

CorrectionAside from the spelling issues, it's not that they're "rarely made". What you've described is a minting error that could have occurred if 2 blanks got stuck in the press at the same time, or a single blank was struck multiple times causing it to become elongated. The latter is probably more likely, but you'd really have to take the coin to a dealer or appraiser for an in-person evaluation.

∙ 12y agoIt all depends on the date. Ask a question like the one below but fill in the <>s according to what your coin. "what is the value of a <date> <country it was made in> <denomination>". For example: "What is the value of a 1909 US quarter".

Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.
A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.
Flaws and errors on coins should not be confused with mutilation or mangling of the coin.

No, no genuine Indian Head penny is stamped "COPY" on the reverse, or obverse. All such examples are replicas containing no collector value. The only value that such coins have is the value of what they are made out of.

Is there any value to a 2 dollar bill stamped on the back with the front stamp It has been stamped over the back stamp?
I used to collect coins and one of the things that i learned was that any misprint on any bill significantly increases the value of that bill. I reccommend that you take it to some kind of coin show or even a coin store and check it out.
How much is a silver penny worth in mint condition and what is a penny from 1967 with a silver front and a goldish looking back?
A silver penny in mint condition is typically worth around $5-$20 to collectors, depending on the specific type and rarity. A penny from 1967 with a silver front and a goldish looking back may be a novelty coin that has been altered or plated, and would likely be worth only face value as a regular penny.
