The details are marvelous, but the scratches affect the grade substantially. I'm wondering if the rotated die is desirable or not. Does the rotation have a positive or negative effect upon the value? I'm looking forward to any comments :) Edited by staircase 07/23/2011 05:11 am Report this Post to the Staff

It looks like the coin has been "wiped" causing the "straight" lines. Nice coin in the AU/BU area, may have some shelf wear, hard to tell by the picture. Report this Post to the Staff
bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1352 Posts	Posted 07/23/2011 4:46 pm I catalogued this one as OD4/RB2. It is tied for the most common 1858 die marriage. Tough to tell from the pics, if it has been wiped or not. Other wise AU-55 to MS-62 range. Nice coin. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

These minor rotations are relatively common for the date. As Rob points out, the die pair is quite common for the date. The grade is very nice but the scratches are a distraction as you have already mentioned. Report this Post to the Staff
staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 7:20 pm Thanks for your comments, much appreciated! I didn't realize that the rotation was as common as pointed out. I have no idea if the previous owner had the coin cleaned. Edited by staircase 07/24/2011 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
