Very nice! I've flipped 10s of thousands of coins in the couple years since I started hunting, and have only found one significant die rotation error, so always jealous of these! One of my favorite kinds of errors.

How much of a premium would you place on something like this?

Very nice TB. Not so easy to spot. Quote:

I found this sold listing for a 1924D. 30.00 plus shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133819880760 We have to take the sellers word that it's rotated because they only rotated the image of the reverse!   But it gives an idea what someone might pay for one. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

A '24-D is a different animal.

Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! Was truly a surprise when this one was flipped. As for value, these usually top out around $65, and I've seen 1940-S fail to sell at that level. But for now it's the only one I've ever heard of on this date, so probably would hit $75 as there would be a couple collectors keen to get their paws on it. These are really hard to collect, as the least rare examples on Lincoln cents are R5 (31-80 known) and they are tough to find and almost never come up for sale. Interesting side fact, 11 of the 21 Lincoln Cent rotated dies listed in the census are from 1972-D or 1973-D. I have never seen any from either of these dates. |

Wow, this would be quiet the keeper for me! I love a rotated die.

Very nice find TB! I haven't had the pleasure of flipping one of these yet.
Would this coin grade details with the rim damage?

Maybe details, but I think it's minor enough it'd go straight. Shows up more in the photos due to lighting than in hand.

A '24-D is a different animal. Definitely agree. But the era was right. And it's probably not a good comparison because the buyer was not adept enough to know the seller could have been selling a fake since there was no picture showing both sides in the same image. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.

The thing with the 1924-D is that there are two really good rotated dies, a 120 and a 180, but there are droves of them rotated about 20 degrees or so. I have a couple of those minor ones in my collection as they aren't trivial, just not major. So seller could easily have a rotated die for that year, just not one of the big ones worth more money.
