Paid $85 for the coin but the dealer was unaware of the error. Probably not a huge premium on this but so far I've been unable to find another one with this degree of rotation so likely pretty rare. It is not listed in the rotated die census. 1858 Flying Eagle cent (large letters) mint error - rotated dies 180 degrees Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 8:56 pm Does this sort of thing bring a meaningful premium? Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 9:11 pm I certainly would on a Lincoln Cent, but hopefully someone here can answer that question for a flying eagle. I am thinking to slab it nonetheless since it's a cool error and coin is in decent gradable condition. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 10:15 pm That's a nice one. I have a '58 LL rotated a perfect 90 degrees. Supply is low, but demand is too. The old rule of thumb was that a rotation between 90 to 180 degrees, at least on the FEs and IHCs adds a $25 premium. Not much has changed, despite the asking prices on ebay.

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6108 Posts	Posted 10/31/2022 10:33 pm Thanks! Seems like slabbing it would be a cost loser but probably go for it anyway next time I can hit a show and get the ANACS show special. Report this Post to the Staff
