We need a better description in order to help. including what kind of cent, the degree of rotation etc.
Hi, Rotated dies are not unheard of on older Lincoln cents the first thing to do though is to be truly sure it is rotated. This one looks like it could be slightly rotated. Try this. Carefully hold the cent in your hand, by the edge by using your thumb and forefinger. With the edge by the top of Lincoln's head touching your forefinger and the edge by the bottom of the bust against your thumb, try to spin the coin between your fingers without changing it's position. If Lincoln was straight up when you started, after you spin the coin, The reverse should be positioned perfectly upside down. That is called a normal "Coin orientation" with respect to the strike. That is normal. Let me know how that comes out after you do it a few times. If the coin is still out of line, let me know. It is tough to guess on die rotation from pictures because everything depends on the coin being turned over perfectly without rotating it during that process. Let me know how it turns out, Bill
I know what you mean, all U.S. coins are that way versus many foreign coins. Yes it's nearly fully rotated. I always turn a coin from the bottom over and the reverse comes up in the right position but not this one, it comes upside down. Thats why I noticed it. Heres a photo taken with a mirror to show the rev. at the same time as the obv. Thanks.
Looks like its about 165 degrees out of position. I know its a nice find, even if I have no idea what it may be worth.
Hi, Yes, That is nicely rotated. It's hard to place a value on it but I will try to ask a few folks that would be knowledgable on what these are worth. Have Fun, Bill
