"Pretty Sweet"... Now that's an understatement. It's an incredible coin, the rotation is really unusual Thanks for posting the pictures.

Thanks! I didn't think that a rotation was that rare of an error for older coins....does it add any value?

 

I don't have my regular computer (*broken, disk stuck in the drive) with me now. I had a link which talks about rotated die coins and their (Rarity Ratings). I think the link was posted on this site once, try checking it out.

Maybe this is what Ben was talking about go here

 

Hmmm...Thanks Bruce....But I don't think mine is any of those, unless Im measuring wrong...which is highly likely.

 

Anyone care to try to measure the rotation on my coin=/?

 

Sorry but the picture is not clear enough for me with my eyes I am sure there are some eagle eyes here that can help.

 

You can say that again! Great coin!

 

Very nice rotation, and apparently very scarce.

 

Thanks! I couldn't figure it out...lol....So does anyone have any idea how much value a rotated die adds to a coins price?

*Edit* I found an 1809 half-cent with the same rotation on Ebay...It's only at 40 bucks =( I think It will stay in my collection =)
