Very cool find Kman! And it appears to have circulated for at least a short time. Nobody looks at their money any more (except us roll hunters!)
Oh, and I should add that this is not a misaligned die strike, as both sides are off center. It is an off-center strike. A misaligned die strike will only be off center on one side (usually the obverse "hammer" die, unless the coin in question had the reverse die as the hammer die).

Nice find for a Canadian member ... or for that matter .. any member.  with CND ... this coin is an off-center strike ... having some difficulties making out the date from the posted photographs. What is your purpose for having the 1971 LMC sitting next to it in the photos.  Assume you wished to 'compare' to a normal coin ... but all of us known what 'normal' looks like.  Are you suggesting that the 1971 coin as well has some issues to discuss. Nice roll find ... congratulations. David The ONLY owner of a CCF T-Shirt ..... prove me wrong with a photo! Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.finewoodcrafter.comToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Edited by nickelsearcher

Thanks everyone, yes I put the 1971 beside just in case someone asked for a size comparison.
As for rolls, I opened a bank of America account in niagara falls ny so I go over once a week and grab a $25 box.
This box has been the best so box far!

Kman,they typically bring $2-5 on eBay....value goes up the further off center and with the date still intact.
