westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 04/16/2013 2:12 pm I've been doing a set of Two Cent Pieces with every clock posistion. I've been surprised just how much some dealers (especially on ebay) are now asking for rotated pieces. I'm seeing $100+ premiums quite often, don't see them selling though, and as an active collector of rotated 2 centers I would never pay that much of a premium. But depending on the amount of rotation maybe 5-15% more than a normal coin of the same date and grade. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/25/2013 8:18 pm All coins are going to be different in value in combination with rarity and rotation. I start looking at rotation at about 45 to 50 degrees if the coin is rare or the fact that the reverse is rare on certain coins. I don't buy many coins unless the rotation is 90 degrees or more and always love 180 degrees of rotation. I have a couple of coins at 175 to 178 degrees, but not exactly 180 degrees.

downtownsf Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 1:48 pm There is no set amount of premium for rotated dies. Some coins, like the 1864 Two Cent Piece have a ton of rotated dies. So the premium is less. The closer to 180 degrees the more the premium will increase. Anything less than 90 degrees will most likely get no premium. If you happen to get a rotated die on a scarce coin than it will most definitely increase the premium, but there is no set amount. Key points: The older the coin the more likely a rotated die will occur 90 degrees or less usually commands no premium The closer to 180 degrees the better There is NO set dollar amount of premium over value *Rare coin + Rotated die = Highest Premium Paid Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 4:28 pm There are definitely less rotated die error collectors than collectors of other types of errors. Low demand means lower prices, and that is something I'm not complaining about! Report this Post to the Staff
mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 5:05 pm w/r/t combining the most recent comments of both downtownsf and robbudo: The only additional comment to make about human nature that has quite frequently occurred would be: 'If a statement of fact addressing a coin or any subject for that matter is 'printed' (as opposed to â€˜spoken') either digitally or in ink, a majority of individuals reading this information will automatically 'assume' the contents to contain factual data'. And if one has the time to do so, always strive to â€˜TRUST BUT VERIFY' using a second source beyond reproach especially when the exchange of Benjamins are involved...
