Victorian pennies misalignment

Recommended Posts

Hi can Victorian pennies be misaligned from oneside to the other?

I have a rather worn 1863 penny that appears to have the head tipped back at an angle when you flip over in relation to the other?

I checked against another Victorian penny of 1889 and lined up the dated and the head does appear at quite a bit of an angle.

I realise the coin is worn but surely the two sides should line up. Is there any premium to such a coin or are they common???

Hi I have just lined up the date line on the 'normal' 1889 and 1863 with the card and you can quite clearly see the tipping back on the 1863 one.

Any premium commanded by this for a worn coin or it this very common and of no collector value. Does it need to be authenticated by expert?

Or is it no error....

Thanks Russ

Small rotations are not uncommon
