Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 07/01/2013 6:47 pm Rotation and misalignment are different things and the more of either, the more 'interesting' the coin gets. 8% rotation is interesting enough for me to keep in my little collection but I don't think it would bring much, if any, premium. But keep it until you find a better one. They're fun to have around. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3334 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 09:03 am Thanks for your comments. I think that the answer to my question is that any degree of misaligned die can be called a MAD, but the greater the misalignment the more interesting the coin and the better the premium. I know that this is minor all the way around, but after a long dry spell it is nice to find anything at all! You are correct - this is fun. Pete Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 2:57 pm Unless a coin has a rotated die of 45 degree or more, they are common. The more the rotation the more the value. Your coin is also a MAD. But again to get a premium for them the devices should fall over the edge of the rim.

And here I thought you were going to say less than 10. After going through 3 bricks I have come across no more than 2-3 rotated coins... all less than 5%.

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 07/02/2013 7:52 pm I believe that a rotation of 15 degrees is within tolerance for the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
