Ok. I have for years been putting off going through my pile of type coins to sell off the stuff that really doesn't fit my collecting passions. It is a monstrous organizational nightmare, as many of you know. Anyway, I am finally starting to work on it, and came across this coin I've had forever. I've hit the end of the line with as far as I can go to identify it, and before I sell it I want to make sure I'm not offing a super expensive coin without realizing it. Pics are below, but what you can't see from the pictures is that the dies are rotated almost 180 degrees. Is this some sort of special variety? (I know nothing about copper). All I kind find is that it is labeled on rotateddies.com as having a 168 degree counterclockwise rotation and is an "R5" Whatever that means.
Anyone else know? Anything you've got to add? Anyone any good at grading copper?
Thanks,
eric
Edited to add that swamp boy put up reasonable sized pictures instead of my inconsiderate monster sized ones. Thank You! You can find the pics a few replies below.

Sorry Eric, but you'll have to wait until I get a
bigger monitor. I tried going to the other side
of the room, but that was not far enough!!
