Hello,

Thank you for all in the info guys, we really appreciate it!!

The term "upset dies" from ICCS is not meaningless.

We had a 1982 Confederate dollar graded upset dies from ICCS and it was a perfect 180* rotation on the reverse just like this 1998 5 Cent coin.

Here are some further pictures.

So then it's a rotated die error. I have no idea why they would attach an inscrutable term like "upset dies" to this error type.

It's ICCS version of saying a 180 degree rotation

So what do they call a rotated die error that's less than 180 degrees?

Wow! to be honest I didn't think you could get that much for it, but I'm glad you did :) someone must have liked it a lot. Congrats!

Thank you very much.

There was a lot of people who were interested in the scarcity of the coin.

"upset dies" should really be called "coinage axis" as opposed to Canadian coins being "medal axis"
