Hi Randy, First off I think the others meant to send you to PCGS not PGCS. I am not sure that you will find much info on that site tho. Many older U.S. coins have rotated reverse in varying degrees which do have a premium. Your best bet would be to search this site and any other auction sites that you know for completed listing for a 1968 Canadian Penny Rotated Reverse. Or perhaps call a local coin shop.

Hi Randy,

US coins that have off kilter reverses don’t have much, if any, premiums. I think they may if they’re really off [180 degrees] making them like most foreign change—they use the medalian reverses—like, for instance Canada! I forget who but someone here sells a lot of Canadian money—mostly currency…I wish I could remember their name.
And, by all means—-use that PGCS addy—they are the best there is in money graders/authenticating…

have fun
