buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 11/19/2012 06:38 am Are errors like this more common on older coins? They don't seem to fetch much over the value of the coin on older coins. That is what I at least noticed while looking at a draped bust cent with the same error. Report this Post to the Staff

hesgut Pillar of the Community 1028 Posts	Posted 11/23/2012 2:05 pm The coin does, indeed, look less like a cleaned coin is this picture than the other one. It looks like it would grade G-4 and the rotation only adds a slight bid of value. An 1867 no rays G-4, with 90 degree rotation, yet unattractive is about a $10 coin. Report this Post to the Staff

A hole in a common coin like an 1864 2-cent destroys most of it's collector value and the rotation doesn't compensate much. If you want a rotated example of this coin it won't be that hard to find one without problems at a reasonable price, especially if you visit a large coin show. Just be patient! I want any example of this coin, or indeed any other example from the US 2-cent series... so far I think I've only seen two (outside of the Internet anyway), this and a slabbed one for $200+ (don't remember the exact price, but either way it was well out of my league). However, if you know of any scheduled/proposed coin shows (especially "large" ones) in the vicinity of Moscow, Russia within the next couple of years, please mention - I'd be very interested Report this Post to the Staff
