Hi all, I was going through some of my father's old coins the other day and came across this coin and thought I would share it with you all and see what you thought of it.
Cheers

Thank you all for kind words, much appreciated. Is this classed as a misstrike or something else. Is there much of a market for these coins?
Cheers

Yes, it's a mis-strike. Yes, there's a market for them. Yours I would estimate as being worth $50-$100. It's a nice one.

A mis-strike is anything that isn't minted correctly, more specifically your error is an off-centre strike.
