Hey All, i was wondering if you could help me out, i think i have a two cent peice with an error, attached are two pics with two coins, the coin on the left is a standard two cent peice, and the coin on the right is the one i think that has an error. The coin that i think has an error is not in the best of conditions and cannot read the date. Anyway, the error is that when you flip the coin over the reverse does not line up like it proparly should, it looks like it is offset or twisted. Kind of hard to explain better to see the pics. The first pic is of the obverse of both coins lined up together. the second is of the reverse flipped the same way. Anybody have an idea of what it could possibly be worth, if anything. Let me know if you need anymore information. Thanks.
badfish - Try again to attach your pics. Be sure to wait a few minutes for the files to upload. When they have finished uploading - the file name of the pics will be visible in the dialogue box.

Based on your comments it appears to be a rotated die error. I can't help much with a value. But I can tell you that such errors in the 1800's were not uncommon. And that due to the amount of wear the coin has - I doubt it would be worth more than a dollar or two.
Looks like your coin is pretty close to being a rotated die error with medal alignment. It's condition is not so good, so that will hurt any additional collector value, but I feel confident in saying that it is worth more than a coin with normal die alignment.
hey thanks guys, i figured that since it is an old coins that errors were a lot more common, i got it at a store for 50 cents, just cause i thought it might be worth something. Thanks for your help. - Jeff
The rotated die is very common for the Two Cent pieces. Especially the 1864 issue. They bring a slight premium, but very little, and usually on XF and better grades.
