Does any one know anything about die axis rotation and how it effects the value of older coins?
I have a 1822 large cent,an 1864 2-cent piece,and an 1865 Indian head,all of which exhibit this
feature.
I know of a 2-cent piece in an antique store for sale @$50.00,with the suggestion that it`s very rare.
Mine is quarter-turned where that one is half-turned.
The others I have are only about 15-20 degrees off of normal.
(will post pics if requested)

Any thoughts or info would be helpful.Thank you.

Only slightly more valuable.
 

I agree with fred.... Die rotation on the older coins is not that uncommon. They will bring a small premium to the right buyer.

Thank for the replies.Guess I just became a variety collector.
And I should keep playing the lottery!
