Best wishes.I would like your opinion on a 1986 one cent, which a numismatist told me that it had axis displacement of 180 degrees. considered important, or are worth nothing as errors. Thank you.Sorry translation.

We are going to need to see pictures on this one.
Take photo on an angle holding the coin in front of a mirror so that we can see both sides at once.

Welcome, Josef. Here's a nice example of how to take the picture. I stole* this from either Coop or TBats so Credit to them.  Edited by IsThisAnything

Thank you. Very kind I hope to succeed tomorrow. Just for information, I wanted to know if it was the exact error of the minting would it have a value?

If it is rotated 180 degrees, the value would depend on condition.

Yes, a 180 degree rotation would have some value. How much depends on the condition of the coin. A picture of the edge may help also to rule out an altered coin.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

))_tropica_60783.jpg) Normal cent would have the obverse horizontal, reverse upside down. That would be normal. For a Canadian coin Both sides would be the same rotation. So when you say 180 degree rotation? That could mean it is normal if it is a U.S. Cent. |

You have been very clear. I am inexperienced in the matter for this I seek your help. In fact my numismatic friend was wrong, it is a common cent. Thank you very much.

Thank you, you are a fantastic group. I want to show you just for curiosity, what do you think of the 1973 and not 1986 cents (I apologize for the mistake given). Axis shifted by how many degrees can it be deferred? Definitely not 180 degrees. Thanks courtesy.  |

Well in your friends defense, that would be a rotated die in another country, Canada for example. I made a similar mistake at one point in my learning.
