2 Cent coin die rotation?

is the 2 cent american coin from 1864 suppose to have the same die rotation as all other coins? Like when you flip it over it should be right side up?

Because i have a 2 cent coin that when you flip it over its upside down

Is this a die rotation of 180 degrees or is this normal?

Ill be posting pictures in a few minutes thanks

I bought this coin from a lot of ebay in case anyone is curious how i came across it. No where in the description does it say it was a die rotation or anything.

Is this worth any premium?

 

There is a known variety for the 1864 large motto with the metal alignment, it is cataloged as KF-L7-RPD. This variety has a repunched date as referred to by the RPD. The variety is fairly common.

 

I don't care what the story is, I want one!

 

so its common for the die to be rotated 180 degrees on 2 cent pieces?

Thanks for posting a link dsmith23. But what is a metal alignment??

 

A medal alignment is a coin with a 180 degree turn of a normal coin. So that if you spin a coin, both sides will face up.
