<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 441278, member: 66&quot;]Do you really want to know?&nbsp; I don&#039;t believe it is an off-alloy coin.&nbsp; It is a higher detail piece but the apparent corrosion hurts it badly.&nbsp; It is a rotated die but there really aren&#039;t that many people interested in such things, and rotated reverse coins for 1864 are fairly common.&nbsp; There is even one variety of 1864 two cent that always comes with a 180 degree rotated reverse.&nbsp; So it tend to be a curiousity and little more.&nbsp; In my personal opinion I think the coin is worth about $12 - $15.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not really.&nbsp; Consider this, Large cents and bust halves are avidly collected by die variety.&nbsp; There are specialized books on the subject, and even special organizations devoted to them.&nbsp; Yet as a general rule a die variety in either series does not command a special premium until it reached the level of an <b>R-5</b> rarity or 31 to 75 pieces known.&nbsp; And I would bet that there are more avid large cent and bust half collectors than their are avid rotated die collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
