Saint Ninian Valued Member Canada 95 Posts	Posted 06/03/2012 5:16 pm I was putting some 1950's cents into 2X2's last night, and noticed that even though the obverse was properly placed in an upright position, the flip side was askew. Is this normal for 1952? The reverse leans counter-clockwise, by about 5 minutes(?) Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 06/03/2012 5:25 pm Hi Saint Yes, it's quite common for the cents of the 1940's and 1950's to have rotated dies -- up to about 20 degrees or so you can find them fairly easily in some years. There was an earlier thread just recently showing some excellent examples of some greater rotations. Report this Post to the Staff
Saint Ninian Valued Member Canada 95 Posts	Posted 06/03/2012 5:29 pm Thank you Pennysaver. I appreciate your answer very much. I'm glad that it wasn't just my clumsy fumblefingered placement of the coins causing the problem! I thought that it was just ME for a while last night. Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 06/03/2012 5:41 pm lol. I know what you mean. The other night I was putting away some George V nickels and ran into a run of them that were rotated only 4 or 5 degrees -- just enough to make me think my eyes were going spinny.

OldCoinGuy Valued Member Canada 154 Posts	Posted 06/11/2012 4:33 pm Just how collectable are significant die rotations? I see the, say, 5-20 degree rotations sold on ebay frequently but not so the 45+ degree rotations. How much die rotation before they coins enter into the scarce to rare realm? I have a gem 1967 nickel with a 90 degree die rotation but have never seen a comparable sell. Report this Post to the Staff

Also 1967 coinage orientation PL65 for $500 vs $10. Report this Post to the Staff
