Thanks John! It's so obvious if I had scrolled down a little bit and read the pricing on that same page.

I've managed to get 4 of them so far. Downhill skiing, Speed Skating, Ice Hockey & Biathlon. Paid <$200 per except for the Hockey one. Not sure where that $750 price on J&M came from! :-)

I think I remember that coin from a discussion on the RFD coin forum. Someone pointed out to the owner of the coin that minor rotations are part of normal production and not considered error coins. I guess he didn't accept that answer (or NGC's evaluation!).
I guess the mind sees what it wants to see!

Sticker rotation. The legend around the Bride seems fine but the portrait is askew.

Not even.. The coin is just a few degrees off. Rotated in the holder. You can see how one side is slightly clockwise and when flipped over the other side looks slightly counterclockwise.

NCLT errors tend to be much more scarce, but sometimes their price does not reflect rarity. Here is one, that I used to have... 1963 proof-like 5-cent, broadstruck.

That's what I see too but the seller, Gwako, says on the other forum that he got a TPG to designation one of these (I guess he has multiples) as a die rotation.  |

He posted on RDF yesterday a photo of the coin in NGC slab and beside it is an ICCS certification stating die rotation. I find it interesting the differing opinions of the two grading companies. I'm not sure what this means or implies. Anyone care to share their thoughts on the two different opinion by the grading companies?

The one pictured on RFD is a different coin than the one on ebay though it is the same owner. NGC and ICCS disagree on the die rotation and also gave two different grades. It's not uncommon for different TPGs to give different grades since it's just an (educated) opinion but I can't see why ICCS would consider that coin to be a die rotation. Given that Gwako has at least two, there are likely tons of them out there that people either haven't noticed or bothered to list on ebay, or simply returned to the Mint for an exchange. It also begs the question, who would pay a premium for a such an 'error'? Edited by CC-Ottawa
