Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 01/03/2016 8:43 pm Imagine my excitement when I found a major rotated die while roll searching nickels. After calming down a bit I looked closer at the reverse. Something just didn't look right. Why would someone do this? FYI the tooth pick was left in the same spot while the coin was flipped head over tails. Report this Post to the Staff

BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 01:03 am 2001-P is a year that has rotated dies. It's one of the years I found too. See listed here: http://rotateddies.50webs.com/census.htm It's very likely that yours is genuinely rotated as well. Is yours about 165 degrees CW or about 35 degrees CCW? It's hard to tell how you rotated it. (The one listed on the site is 165 degrees, however mine is 115 degrees) Edited by BlueSolo 01/04/2016 01:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 10:43 am The rim looks normal. I'll have to look at the amount of rotation when I get home. Maybe I have the real deal? Report this Post to the Staff
Loco Valued Member United States 127 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 7:16 pm BlueSolo, the reverse is rotated about 35 degrees CCW.......wow this must be the real deal. What would you think the value is? Report this Post to the Staff
