  Rotated die Two Cent Pieces are not unusual at all.

  I have a few and they are G-4 at best. I've never seen one in better condition. One of mine is a '65

  Here's one that I found in a small collection I bought a few years ago. 1864 LM with 180 degree rotation and a neat die crack on the reverse. ANACS graded it AU-58. It's in the small white holder, which gives you an idea how long I've had it. May not be really valuable but I like it.

  Imo, the '64 Two Center is the
  most common US coin with a
  180 degree rotated reverse, by far.
  
  I've had them up to A.U, although
  most are Good to VF; easily found.
  
  The 1878-CC Morgan isn't that far
  behind, as far as 'next most seen &
  availability.
