jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 745 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 6:41 pm As I was searching through some cents today, I came across some 80 and 81 memorial cents that were slightly rotated on the reverse. They vary from 5 degrees up to almost 20 degrees. It got me to go and look at other dates and I found a few with slight rotations. My question is, at what point is a rotated reverse worth keeping on the memorial cents? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19195 Posts	Posted 01/19/2023 8:46 pm Value of rotation errors is pretty much driven by collectors who are willing to pay a premium for them. For me, I'd look to keep anything rotated 'out' beyond 30 degrees. That's just me,. Report this Post to the Staff

Hi Hondo, According to lincent cent resource, The U.S. Mint allows for an error margin of less than 8 degrees. Rotated die errors are usually not collectible unless they are at least 15 degrees. Rotated die errors are most valuable after 90 degrees with 180 degrees being the most valuable. http://lincolncentresource.com/Erro...tedDies.html I will add that the less valuable errors still may sell just fine for small premiums such as on ebay, just may not appeal to serious collectors and dealers. Currently minor errors are selling as well that are typically so common we used to say they have 'no value'. Edited by datadragon 01/20/2023 2:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
