5 Ptas 1957 *59

Hello,
I have a 5 Ptas coin of 1957 *59 with a inverted reverse ( revrso girado 180º or Medal Alignmenent).
I made some researsh and I could not find another coin like this one and for some people this is a unique 5 Ptas coin in this condition.
Could you help about some more information on this extreme rare coin.
At moment I have no photo but soon as I get a photo with a mirror I will post it
Thank you.

It could be an error. A rare one, there are some with the reverse inverted 45º and 90º. But it's the first time I hear one with 180º...

A photo colud help

Hello. I toke some photos, I hope that can show this very rare coin.

Interesting...

Interesting indeed. But any idea about its rarity?
I any one there that can give more information about this rare coin?

Any more ideas?
It is impossible that people do not like a coin like that.

Hello, Can anyone tell where I can sell this rare coin, like an auction in Spain?
Thank you.

Hello Pavofrito, I contact the auctioners that you gived the name and one said that it is not a rare coin but they did not said if they sow another before, the other said that it has no interest to them.

Thank you. The question is not they accept or refuse to sell the coin, the truth is they do not have a coin like that but they do not want to sell the coin. This is notv a rare coin??

ya podiais poner debajo la traducción...los que estudiamos francés no nos enteramos de naaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Well, you know, it is always a market question...

Lo que si es cierto, es que van camino de ser las 5 pesetas 1957*59, con más visitas de la historia del foro, y eso que está en "modernas" y no en "contemporáneas".

¿JA había visto una moneda de 5 Ptas con reverso girados 180 grados?
Se si coloca una foto para mostrar que és igual.

Interesante moneda.

Yes indid, but if it was in someone hands it would be very rare and precious, because no one show another and even if there was another one both would be very interesting and rare.
So why this coin has no interest to colectors?

Movido a contemporaneas, lo dejo aquí un dia más.

Saludos

Gracias Ben.

Hello there damas7,

I would not say this coin isn't a rare coin, on the other hand it is not a unique coin either. Any rotation of the obverse with respect to the reverse is obtained when one of the dies used in striking these coins isn't fixed properly and rotates. This way any rotation can be achieved from 1 degree up to 359 degrees. I will definitely state it is a rare coin indeed.

However having said all this, there used to be a market for errors and variants in coins, but I am afraid this market has dropped almost completely simply because when selling them they do not return the money invested in them.

This particular variant could still be interesting to a specialized collector but there are few of those nowadays and even if you manage to find one the coin is not in a mint uncirculated condition which would make it even harder to sell it for a good price.

I know this isn't what you had hoped for to hear but in my opinion it's the simple plain truth.

Good luck anyway in selling the coin.

Cheers,

Thank you JO3023,

I agree with you but in a reflected opinion, a rare coin is a one that it is dificult to get another one look a like.
The market for it is another thing.
This coin is very rare until another coin is showed here and if it is another one it still two coins known.
I still waitt to see another one or more coins like mine.

Regards,

A rare coin it is witout any doubt. I have such a rare coin too, the 2 Pesetas 1937 from Euzakdi struck with a medal alignment (180 degree rotation). The same as your 5 Pesetas. I am a specialised collector but even so I gave it a lot of thought buying the coin. I paid, you probably are eager to know, 150 euros for it but only because it was in an UNC condition. I also have an UNC 10 Céntimos 1959 with a medal alignment apart from other smaller rotations as well. For this piece I paid roughly 100 euros. Based on these prices and coin conditions you can roughly estimate what a specialised collector would pay for your coin. Collectors in Spain are used to these type of variants and are not prepared to pay a lot for it. And as commented before, at this moment there is no market for it.

The coin is certainly (very) rare, unique if you like if another one does not show up. But I am convinced sooner or later another one will turn up. I have an aluminum trial strike of a civil war coin from Segarra de Gaià. I thought it was the only one in existance since I never saw anotherone until very recently a second one was auctioned in Barcelona.

So if you want to sell it don't expect a lot for it. If you do not want to sell it because you think it is a rare and curious piece even better. You will not be dissapointed.

Cheers,

Thanks Jo.
We will wait until find out another one, if these coins are not rare what is rare? The quality factor or the quantity factor?
