1920 One Cent Inverted Die Error

Mudd1761, do you mean the die axes of this penny are up/down (same orientation as a Lincoln Cent)?

the differences in alignment are called "medal" and "coin" alignments. If this is truly a 180 degree rotation, you could have 10's of thousands of dollars in your hand...

The initial message is gone I think, but I assume we are talking about an inverted dies 1920 cent. An inverted dies 1920 cent would be a great find, assuming it is truly inverted 180 degrees and not just rotated somewhere between 90 and 180 degrees.

I think you are a little optimistic on the value imohtep, though. I would guess it would sell for around $1000....maybe $2000 at most. While inverted dies coins are rare, they are common enought that a couple seem to come up for sale each year. As a George V cent this would probably get a premium but I am not sure any Canadian error coin is going to have buyers lined up at 10s of thousands of dollars. As someone once said on one of these threads, "the only thing rarer than a million dollar Canadian coin is a collector of million dollar Canadian coins".
