Got this quarter as part of a lot last week, and was just going through them now and noticed it has a bit of a die rotation error, maybe 30 degrees or so. I'm wondering how common this is, and does it add any value to the coin?   |

"downhill cat" rotation like this is fairly common, a couple of dollars premium.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Die rotation generally doesn't become of significance until it get around 90°.
Although with modern coins where die alignment is more controlled 45° may be of some significance.

I have some of the pennies and nickels, same year, with similar rotation.

For any other year such a rotation is insignificant. For 1967 the "diving goose" and "downhill cat" attract a premium, go figure.

Most rotations at 45, 90, or complete 180 degrees command decent value, a 180, 1967 5 cents just recently sold at TCNC auction for 3000.00 plus juice and taxes.

quimpler.. your coin is about 14-15 degrees, small premium to the right collector. 25 to 30 degrees I start to get real interested anything over that is hard but awesome to find.
$3000 is a lot of dough for a 180 degree nickel, must have been pristine and had the right bidders.

A complete 180 upside down 67 goose at last years RCNA auction surprisingly sold for over 10,000 plus juice, it also was a really nice coin. |

Yes pennyman007 right you are, I checked it with a protractor and it's about 15 degrees... thanks to everyone for your input!
