Help With 1834 Bust Half Question, Coin Alignment Is Off , Fake?

Thanks, I've compared it to my other bust half's and back is rotated. Just had me concerned

Thanks I thought it had been cleaned. I've only ever had some old family coins and only recently bought a couple. On this half when the bust is facing straight up then I flip the coin the reverse top sets at 2 o'clock position which is noticeably different from the couple other bust half's I've had a long time. It didn't cost me a lot just really like the coin.

This is the half I ask about earlier compared to another, each coin on bust side in holder exactly the same

when the two dies arent aligned like that its usually called a rotated reverse. its a pretty common occurrence in the early mint. there are some coins where it is more common to find them rotated than not. its usually not worth a premium.

i had a friend years ago who collected large cents with rotated reverses. he had them all in a dansco album so that when you looked at the front they were all normal. when you flipped over to the back they were all rotated all over the place. it was a fun collection. he had all directions and rotations.

Thanks the information is great
