Head Cents

1877 Indian head small cent the reverse is rotated 90 Degrees?
I have this 1877 Indian head in extra fine condition but when you flip the coin from the obverse to the reverse the one cent is up side down, when I put in my album it is a full 90 degrees looks a little odd lined up with all the others in my collection
my question are there any know (Rotated die errors) i know they are some in other coins but not sure if any IHC have been reported

You probably have a rare coin, but Indian cents are not reeded (like gold). It is possible to saw them in half and join them expertly to create a very good fake. For this reason, many error collectors won’t touch an error coin in less than AU.
If the coin is authentic, it would be caused by misalignment of the obverse and reverse dies in the collet. The bad news is that pennies are not checked all that carefully, so a screw-up like this can result in hundreds, even thousands of specimens. The good news is that all Indian cents are relatively scarce, so an authentic error very much is collectible.

I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings $3.70 By now, everyone knows how adventurous Radiohead are, which makes this live record–a hairy rock-band cliché–seem like a strange capper to their decidedly cliché-rejecting records. But throughout the hubbub surrounding Kid A, and its Amnesiac companion piece, Radiohead never embraced the notion that they’re reinventing anything. Even while a tempest of critics hailed the band as saviors, pullin… |
