Now I see what you are talking about! 👍

First...not thousands, but a bit of a premium is likely as Eisenhower errors like this have a decent market. Likely less than 150.00.

The info I am giving you is from my looking at similar SOLD ones at www.ha.com which is one of the most well known professional coin auction sites online. I searched for "off center eisenhower dollar" and hit the past sold items.

Your pics are still fuzzy when zooming in to see the amount of wear and marks on the surface (which is EVERYTHING in the coin hobby). But I did look at sold items similar (what I could tell from the pics) b/c I was curious!

I see a couple with similar offset, but in better condition (mint state or MS). If you go to that site, remember the higher the MS number, the more towards perfect the coin (MS70) is and therefore the more people pay.

Date, in this case, will not mean much since you will find these types of errors are collected more for having an example of one that someone trying to make up a complete set of them by date and mint mark.

Yours is likely 5% off center. The more off center, the more valuable as well.

I see a couple MS64s with 5% off center that went for around 200.00 to 250.00. From the pics and what I can make out, I don't think yours is an MS coin, but an AU (Almost Uncirculated) So again, this is why I GUESSED 150.00

Now I can see every thing on the coin. What you have is a Misaligned Die. The Obverse (hammer die) is off. If both sides were off, then it would be called Off Center. As far as I know, it does not have a premium.

Ike errors tend to bring a premium b/c its so hard to find a legit Ike error. Most of the errors in this series are what otherwise are minor looking doubled dies. In fact the "Peg Leg," a polishing event, is one of the main things Ike people talk about and sometimes, And again, I think the Peg Legs are just noted so much to have more variety. Ikes are another favorite of mine.

I would buy any like this I could find for a couple of bucks and be thankful for the incredible buys. The Ike market is different than finding a nickel or quarter like this. The last sold Ike MAD I see on eBay,but it was BU and this is not, was 257.99.

Better pics of this one would help.
