I have a 2-cent piece with an almost 180 degree rotation.
Is this something that is worth certification?
Condition is VG-8 at best.
The impossible just takes longer.

    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.
