staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 07/17/2011 7:53 pm This penny has a full 90 degree die rotation. I have heard of this occurring from time to time, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen something similar to this 1991. A full ninety degree rotation would seem to be extremely rare. Forgive the slightly out of focus images shown mirrored on the 3rd photograph. Edited by staircase 07/17/2011 10:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I have never seen or heard of one from the 1990s, especially with the 12-sided strikes! Awesome find!!

staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 07/18/2011 09:33 am Hi and thanks for the comments! It was discovered while sorting some rolls of pennies a couple of years ago. I have an idea of it's value, but unless I find a sister coin, this one isn't going anywhere. Report this Post to the Staff
