<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 569712, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>Not much more than a normal 1864 cent.&nbsp; Rotated dies are fairly common on Indian Head cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several varieties of 1864 cent.&nbsp; If the coin is fairly thick (I can&#039;t tell what you have from the picture)&nbsp; it is a copper-nickel piece.&nbsp; If it is a little thinner (similar to a modern cent)&nbsp; it is made of bronze.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Of the bronze ones, there are two varieties.&nbsp; You need a pretty good magnifier to tell though.&nbsp; There is a small segment of ribbon between the bottom feather and the hair on the back of the neck of the portrait of the Indian.&nbsp; On that small portion of the design,&nbsp; there may or may not be a small letter &quot;L&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That will help you determine which variety of 1864 cent you have.&nbsp; Give us a little more info and perhaps a better picture so we can grade the coin as best we can and some here will be able to give you an idea of what it is worth.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the overall scheme of things 1864 cents with rotated dies are encountered fairly regularly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
