Agrippa Pillar of the Community United States 663 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 12:27 am I didn't notice this until I put it in the coin flip. What is the correct term for this kind of error? Does it add value? Report this Post to the Staff

zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 12:44 am It's called a "die rotation" or "rotated dies" depending how the term is being used. Yours looks to be about 10° Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 08:08 am For modern coins such as yours there is a LOT of Mint control during striking. So for a clad coin I'd say you need about 45° to be significant. No premium for your coin. Back in the 1800's and before where a LOT of mistakes were made die rotation has to be more like 90° to be worth extra. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2759 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 08:11 am 10 degrees is within tolerance, so although this is a minor rotated die, it isn't really considered an error. Even rotations of 45 degrees are common on nickels and don't command a premium. but rotations of 30 degrees plus are rare enough on dollar coins to garner a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
