Hey, robbudo, nice bunch of 1861 Indians you have there, love the rotation.  I'm trying to get a fairly decent one and you have 5.  |

Sorry there SHAFTA9a, I've been buying most I've seen in the past 15 years. I did get outbid on a few in that time frame though.

and the condition of these isn't anything to write home about, although the best of the lot is graded AU50 from ANACS.

Nice set--I don't know about IHC errors--was 1861 known for rotated dies? |

Interestingly, the rotated die census puts the 1861 Indian cents, rotated between 90 and 180 degrees, at R6 (13 to 30 specimens are estimated to exist). |

Good catch SHAFTA9a. I'd say it has a minor misaligned obverse die. But this doesn't make a lot of sense to me seeing as the reverse was the hammer die until they switched to a bronze composition in '64.

the most common date for an Indian cent with rotated dies is actually the 1868 proofs, followed by 1864-L, then 1897. |
