NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 5:54 pm I understand that 15 degrees is a minimum and value increases as the rotation increases to 180 degrees. Report this Post to the Staff
Nyfireman Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 5:55 pm do you know of a easy way to figure out the degree of rotation I'm not a math wizard lol Report this Post to the Staff
BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 6:42 pm Post some pics. 1 easy way is to take a picture of both sides (one side completely straight), flip on the horizontal axis. Then rotate the second image that is offset in a image editing program so that it is straight as well. Often it will show the degree of rotation. Even the iPhone built in photo app will tell you degree of rotation. Edited by BlueSolo 04/11/2016 6:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
NoPoMoCo Valued Member United States 403 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 7:18 pm If your nickel is in a 2x2 and is squarely aligned, you can turn the 2x2 over to the other side and draw lines corner to corner. These lines correspond to a 45 degree (or 135 degree) rotation. You'd be lucky if your coin rotation hit these exactly, but you may be able to estimate the actual rotation using these as a guide. A cheap protractor from CVS or Office Depot would enable you to draw accurate lines at 15 degrees (the minimum) and 30 degrees to improve your estimation of small rotations.

greenprint Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 12:18 am I also found a rotated 2001 penny by about 110-120 degrees. I think these things are rare but no idea of value. Is it possible to set up an ebay auction with a very ridiculous high reserve like a million dollars and start the listing at 0.00 just to see what the fair market value of some of these coins are that I don't know much there worth?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 3:54 pm I figure 45 degree+ for them to get interesting. Something like this: Edited by coop 04/12/2016 3:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
