This Half Cent is also rotated. This time the rotation is more towards the left unlike my indian cent and dime. Does it increase the value the older the coins and whag do yall think a price should be. Not that I am saling but just for my own personal records.


Thanks and I appreciate the knowledge and thanks to treasurenet.com too.

It really depends on the degree of rotation! The Half Cent and Large Cent series were often plagued by Rotated Dies, so to really worth a premium over an identical coin without a Rotated Die, the rotation must be significant. Some folks say that 40 degrees or 50 degrees or 70 degrees in rotation are the numbers to look for for premiums. However, most coins and especially the older Half Cents and Large Cents will see fair premiums when the degree of rotation of the Dies is at the least 90 degrees and increases as the degree of rotation goes up.

Considering that the Obverse of the coin is not perfectly aligned in the 2x2 in respect to North to South or zero degrees to 180 degrees and compensating for this visually, the coin appears to have no more than a 25 to 30 degree Rotated Reverse. This is not enough to really increase the value but some Collectors may be willing to pay a premium.
