Sit down! This may be hard to swallow...

How about the common, everyday Off Center Cent?
Well, maybe they are NOT so common anymore! How many 2002 Off Centers have you seen? NONE. How many 2001 off centers did you see? A few, but NOT tons. Seems like every year less and less and coming out, certainly no large bulk amount like we use to see. I remember when I use to walk around a show and be able to purchase a bag of 1,000. Off centers. NOT anymore!
If this drought of so called common errors continues, you may once again see that older bag of previously purchased 1,000 Off Centers surface again, BUT at a new shocking Price.
Ten years ago you could purchase a 1,000 bag for .75 cent each ($750.), Two years ago that same bag cost $1.60-$2 each ($1,600-2,000). If this drought continues! $4., $6., $8., or more each??? Think it's impossible? We'll just have to wait and see what 2003 brings... I'm sure prices at the 2003 FUN Convention will be shocking for those "Common" off center cents!

Lets NOT even talk about off center Nickels, Dimes and pre-1999 quarters AND State Quarters... We may have to take a home equity loan for those.. Think about it.
