Is there any premium for this? I looked at rotateddies.com and 1938 is not on the list.
Thanks

One way to really capture what is going on is to take a photo of the coin placed upright in front of a mirror--be sure the photo captures the obverse and reverse in the same shot.

Sorry for not holding the coin by the rim.

Not really rotated enough for a premium.
The minimum for most collectors is 90 degrees with
180 degrees being the most sought after.

It is a 1938 and the very first mint mistake for the Jefferson nickel.

@jo, that is a nice example of a slightly rotated die--looks like about 10 degrees or so, but you should try to get a more accurate value for the angle. Not sure on the potential for a premium, but perhaps a small one especially if there is anyone out there trying to accumulate a date set of rotated dies.
