My Son is getting into collecting 3 cent pieces. He found this coin and is wondering if it is an error as it appears to have a 45 degree rotation on Reverse? If it is an error any estimate on its value?

Thank You!
Brant/Logan

It is an error, but not overly rare. There are some specialty collectors who would be willing to pay a premium, but again, it probably would not be significant. A cool piece, none-the-less.

Looks like a rotated die but I have no idea on value.Maybe someone else can help.
I know I'll find one in this roll!

Is it a particular VAM. It appears the Obverse is offset and probably a very weak strike.

Thanks For the fast responses!

VAM is a term that only applies to Morgan and Peace dollars. You are asking if it is a recognized variety. Unfortunately there is no standard reference for varieties of the nickel three cent pieces. (The best book had a very small printing and has been out of print for years. And even so it only scratched the surface.) As far as I know there are no variety listings for rotated dies. That doesn't mean they don't exist or are rare, just that they aren't considered to be a variety. (You don't create a new variety just because a die rotates in the holder.)
