paleoguy45 Pillar of the Community United States 2936 Posts	Posted 04/25/2011 7:55 pm I have a great looking UNC 1864 Two Cent Piece in my Type Set and just noticed that both the obverse and reverse have the same orientation. When I flip the coin, the side is upside down vice right side up. Is this the way they were minted or do I have a 180 degree out coin? Thanks! Paleoguy Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 04/25/2011 8:03 pm I know that rotated reverses are more commonly found on Two Cent Pieces. Do you have a pic? swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/26/2011 12:07 pm There is at least one very common die variety of 1864 that almost always comes with a 180 degree rotation. Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4418 Posts	Posted 04/26/2011 3:03 pm Yes, rotated dies are quite common for that year. There are collectors who are willing to pay a premium for these though. One can also find 1864 BR Indian cents with up to a 180 degree rotation. Report this Post to the Staff
