1809 Half Cent. Not sure which Cohen # This is.

Coin also has a 180 Degree rotated Reverse. "Medal Turn"

Can't comment on the Cohen #, but regarding the rotation ... The rotated die census lists this as an R5, with 31 to 80 Half Cents from 1809 believed to exist with rotations between 90 and 180 degrees.

I tried using my Quickfinder on it - I's still learning this series and have been wrong before, but it looks like a Cohen 1? THat is an R5 coin so really nice find if it is - others will chime in that have a lot more experience attributing these little sisters. I have an 1809 but way lower grade - hard to attribute due to the reverse being so corroded, but it is also rotated, and the one I was watching in an auction also had rotation, so I think rotated 1809 Half Cents may not be so rare.
