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.

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.

Half of the penny was stamped and half is still smooth - front and back. What is the value of a 1981 penny that was stamped half way across the penny?

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin. 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.

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?

If by a "silver penny" you mean one of the 1943 steel cents, then in mint condition it's worth a dollar or two. If you mean some other date, then it's silver plated and has no collector value. And your 1967 penny has been altered -- no added value.
