    I've decided to do a full inventory on my coins and currency as I'm going to liquidate most of them and I found this 1974 Lincoln cent with a 180º rotated die. I can't find any real information on it as a known error and it is not listed in Strike It Rich, so not sure what to do with it. Suggestions please. 1974 Penny with 180º reverse.jpg

    It is a rotated die error like you stated. And a cool one at that. I've not found one in all of my searches.
    Forget about "Strike It Rich" that book is junk IMO.
    You can take a look at ebay recent sales of rotated die cents to get a baseline of what it is perhaps worth.

    The only ones I found on eBay are a slight rotation and under $10, so guess it's not worth having it graded.

    I wouldn't waste the money. It's a cool error but not worth wasting your money on grading.
