a 1973D Kennedy rotated reverse (135 degrees?). I would call it 45° CCW Rotation, then again I notice most people now use a CW Rotation position only.  ~ Nice Find ~ |

just checked again, its between 90 and 180, so about 135 for sure....I guess depending on one perspective...

atsinger...I think your coin is rotated 39.80 degrees.

I look when I turn it over and go clockwise from where it should be at 12 o'clock. (135)
* It would only be a little if it were not supposed to be at 12.

I understand what you are thinking especially when you most often see the reverse rotation being off on a coin in the clockwise direction. Here you see it being off CCW. If the hammer die was off then it would be in that direction and vice versa on the anvil die. I guess one could spin the anvil die around past 12:00 o'clock then measure from there. But I think regardless of which die caused the die axis rotation the amount of rotation is still just what it is. We seem to tend to only look at the reverse and compare it to the obverse straight up 12 position. Does that make any sense ? |

Indian1: If it were normal the head of the eagle would be pointing south in the mirror. It is pointing north east having rotated about 130/140 degrees CCW from due south.You had estimated 45 degrees CW from due north.

Exactly, if it were around 30 degrees it would not look this way. If t were right it would be upside down. See below for a normal one..  |

I had to look this up as my Wife asked if I ever found out how much and I said around $100 give or take per Mike. Here is the thing, after $100K in halves it remains the most valuable one we have found...er make that her....I haven't found anything close.

WOW - NICE find! Now it makes me want to cry as I did not know to look for this variety and have gone through about 100K in the last couple of years. I was checking for the 71D and the 88P rotated die but was unaware of this one. I wonder if I missed one? |

Congrats. That's a really nice find. As far as the degree of rotation....I have no idea, but personally I like the larger number because it sounds more impressive.  |
