noo_mis_muh_tist New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/25/2009 6:07 pm I've got 2 Franklin Halves with a reverse that appears to have about a 10 degree rotation in comparison other Franklins. Is this common, and does it add any value to the coin, or does it have interest to collectors? Edited by noo_mis_muh_tist 10/12/2009 2:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

noo_mis_muh_tist New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 10/12/2009 2:25 pm NGC told me that they only designate the rotated reverse on a slab when it's 20 degrees or greater. But are the Proof 67 Franklin halves with 10 degrees rotated reverse still more valuable than a Proof 67 Franklin half that does not have a rotated reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/12/2009 3:32 pm From my personal perspective, a slightly rotated reverse on a modern coin is a detractor to the coin itself. Obviously, a rotation of a high degree would be attractive but only as an error and not a date example of a coin. Rotated reverses on older coins tended to be more common so I am not quite so picky about them. If I had to choose between a Franklin with slight rotation and a Franklin with perfect alignment, I would pick the one with a perfect alignment every time. Report this Post to the Staff
