Hey guys, just thought I'd share my latest purchase, got this coin from an antiques shop free ($0.50 marked) with some other items I bought. Just going to show that there are still bargains out there!

The coin itself isn't in bad shape, there is some strange toning though, looks better in hand. Out of curiosity though how much would you say this type of coin would be valued at?

Looks like it may have had some water damage at some stage which may explain the strange toning & as for price mistrikes like this have been getting pretty good prices.

great pickup the coin you have has a mistrike which I think is called off-centre please correct me if I am wrong although out of all the mistrikes it is moderatly rare. In terms of price I wouldn't have a clue although I would say you are most definetly going to get back more than your 50cents paid for it:)
