jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3156 Posts	Posted 01/08/2014 5:22 pm I bought a 1832 large cent on ebay last week that I posted sellers pics of on the grading section. Coin does have some light corrosion but nice details. My question about it is that it appears to have a rotated dies error on reverse. When I researched this the image corresponded to 165 degrees CCW rotation on this coin. Would this increase rarity? Thanks Jerry Report this Post to the Staff

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/10/2014 8:16 pm I have 8 different years of large cents (and 20 different years of Indian cents) and can give you a good idea of the value. Since it is damaged (corroded), it should increase the value about $10. Even though supply is relatively low, demand is also low. As stated earlier, rotations larger than 90 degrees are common on large cents. I'd be interested in seeing a link to your original picture to figure out which N it is. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't think you'll be happy with the surface porosity and believe their is corrosion on the reverse over the first A in AMERICA. Still, with the rotation, you didn't do too bad.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/11/2014 6:25 pm Almost any coin with a rotated reverse could be either worth more or less. So much depends on the collector. Some people actually will not buy a coin with a rotated reverse regardless of the amount of rotation. Some people collect coins with rotated reverses. So your could be worth more or less depending on you finding the right buyer. Report this Post to the Staff
