1865 2 Cent Rotated Die Error *need Help*

to the Community!

to the CCF!

The coin is a rotated die with almost a Medallic Alignment instead of the normal Coin Alignment that it should have.

I have seen this before on the Two Cent series coins. While it may make a slight difference in the value, this coin's condition will limit that value.

It's an interesting error coin and worthy of a 2x2. You might check ebay https://www.ebay.com/sch/Coins-Pape...e=1&_fosrp=1 for sold coin values on Medallic Alignment or 180° Rotation, but factor in the condition.

Nice error, thanks for posting!

Nice rotated die 2cent! But the grade is not too nice.

I disagree with the above advice a little. According to the Rotated Die census, rotated 1865 Two Cent Pieces are given an R5 rating, meaning that only 31-80 two-cent pieces from 1865 are believed to exist that have rotated dies from 90 to 180 degrees. We are used to seeing Two Cent Pieces from 1864 with rotated dies - that might be the most common date of any denomination with significantly rotated dies - it comes in at an R1, meaning over 1K rotated specimens are believed to exist. Unfortunately for you, very few people collect rotated dies. Still, I'd add $20 to the value of your coin for the rotation, although if you listed it on ebay, it would probably sit for half a year before someone bit.
