I was going to say the same thing CH. Those are rare. I just saw a slabbed one that was off 20% or so. Nice coin Batts.

Nice wheat. Out of curiosity, how do you calculate the 129 degree rotation? That's very precise, did you break out a protractor?

Nothing so complicated as a protractor. I knew I found one of these a few years ago and that this die marriage is listed on rotated dies.com http://rotateddies.com/I trust they measured it more accurately than I could quickly, so went with their number. |

Nice find. Even the 30/40 degree rotations aren't exactly common. I've only found one of those in the wheats.

Really nice find. Really great pictures. I just pulled a Memorial cent out of a role and it's rotated but not as much as your wheat. I like that mirror shot. I'm going to try that soon. Thanks for sharing  |

One more thing. When a side is rotated. Which die is rotated? Obverse or Reverse?

Nice find TB. That's pretty dramatic rotation.
One thing I noticed was some weakness on the left wheat lines which lines up with the head in the mirrored image. I'm guessing that might have been a result of the metal flowing into the head instead of into the wheat lines like a normal strike?
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Pete, you are correct that the weak spot lines up with the top of the head, but I looked at the coin back and forth and honestly am not convinced that is the reason for the weakness. Maybe, but not sure.
Coop, that looks awesome with the red background.
"smoke and mirrors" - now that made me laugh!

Tbats you missed your calling as miniature special effects technician on the original Star Trek series set. LOL how many times did that penny fall over prior? Nice rotated die, tens of thousands I searched and nothing like that Stupendous Score! Ha Ha looks like Oklahoma can't score like that against K state nor Iowa "toooo bad - soo sad Oklahoma".
