Awesome! --since I collect them.

How much is it rotated? If you aren't sure how to tell, please go to http://www.rotateddies.com/ then click on "Measuring Coins". If it's rotated 90 degrees or more, then you got a good one. Less than 90 degrees, you're looking at limited interest. If it has less than 30 degrees, little-to-no interest.

I just checked my inventory, from the 1830's, I have rotated large cents from 1830, 1833, and 1836.

 

I was under the impression that 19th century coins with rotated dies are relatively common?

 

It looks to be about almost 45

 

Here are the population estimates for large cents, rotated from 90 to 180 degrees from the rotated die census. R5 = 31-80 specimens, R6 = 13-30 specimens.

1816 Coronet 1 cent R5
1816 Coronet 1 cent R5
1816* Coronet 1 cent R5
1817* N16 Coronet 1 cent 15 stars R6
1818 Coronet 1 cent R5
1822 N8 Coronet Large cent R6
1829 N8 Coronet 1 cent R5
1830* Coronet 1 cent R5
1833 Coronet 1 cent R6
1834 Coronet 1 cent R5
1835 N3 Coronet 1 cent R5
1835 N9 Coronet 1 cent R5
1840 Coronet 1 cent R5
1854 Coronet 1 cent R5

 

Sorry the pics didn't come out to clear

 

adam1, did you take your reverse after flipping it 'heads over tails' or 'side to side'?

 

Side to side thumb on bottom and index finger on top

 

Thanks. Looks like it is rotated about 20 degrees, and is a common rotation as such.

 

Ok thanks
