GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 10:32 am I picked up this 1864 2 Cent piece at a show recently in Toronto. It has a 180 degree die rotation and a really nice die break from the rim all the way to the E in Cents on the Reverse. It also has this kind of oily black dirty film on it. My question is, do any of you think it's worth conserving? because the red lustre that is showing is really stellar and really pops. The impressions on both sides are very good and solid, in hand there is only some light rub on the highest points. Sorry I couldn't properly orchestrate a sufficient picture showing the 180 degree rotation to show for this post. I'll try to get one up later. Thanks all for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

GMS5 Pillar of the Community Canada 1528 Posts	Posted 08/30/2019 11:12 am I picked this up for $40 CAN. This coin flips like a Canadian coin East West instead of the normal North South it's supposed to be. If this could be conserved it would easily be a MS-65 all day long. Report this Post to the Staff
