<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mosiah, post: 467863, member: 16314&quot;]<b>more info</b></p><p><br /></p><p>i have more basic info. yes rotation is common on this date and coin. any premium for rotation on this coin would vary depending on how far the rotation is, how many of that degree of rotation there are as opposed to other rotation degrees of the same coin, and most important, how many people want that type. </p><p>for example: </p><p>1. usualy the closer the rotation is to 180 degrees (perfect back to front alignment when the coin flipped side to side, medallion style) the higher the premium. </p><p>2. if a particular rotation is common as compared to others in the series, even if it is the full 180 degrees, the premium will be less.</p><p>3. and finaly, the demand rules all. if everyone wants it, its premium is large; if no one wants it, then the premium will be small to none. and everything in between.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>as you may have noticed, those who frequent this site are not impressed with this error. a good indication of the demand as usualy more serious collectors use sites like this and again the most knowledgeable answer most coherently with the best detail. therefore the demand seems to be low. also it seems the most common rotation of this coin is 90 degrees or very close to it (pointing directly sideward when flipped side to side.) if this is the rotation on your coin the premium would be lower also.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>for further reffrence if you check e-bay there is only one of these listed with rotation and still the bid is no more than $10 as of last night.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>so with all that my best suggestion would be to find someone local who is qualified to grade american coins and if possible trained in 1800&#039;s grading at a coin store near you. then ask them what they would pay for it. they will probably then give you the wholesale value as well an average grade. if you can find more than one qualified store, 2-3 offers will give you the best grade approximation and wholesale value of the coin outside of sending it to get slabbed. (the grade is the most important info. needed.) a coin show can make it easy to find those you need to do this. then you can make the best informed decision on what to do with it next.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>again, good luck:thumb:, and let me know how it goes!</p><p>mosiah[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
