Seeing the recent 1-cent post on die rotation, prompted me to dig this one out of the photographic library. I have intentionally left part of the CCCS certificate visible, to provide a frame of reference. I would have graded this coin with a cameo comment, it is quite nice. This one probably has a bit of a premium...

That's how you can tell when an elk has had too much to drink.

Nice...Looks like about 58 to 60 degrees...really nice.
SPP, have you seen many die rotations on 50 cent pieces...?
I have one that is only 5.9 degrees,but it is not close to that magical 15 degrees.

The photographs are not perfectly vertical, I originally estimated it to be almost 65 degrees... your software should be able to tell us....
I have not hunted 50c errors. A friend has several 50c silver partial clips, and I have a 1965 proof-like clipped 50c, but I have not seen a major die rotation.

Wert, you have to remember that silver Victorian coinage was struck with coinage axis so that coins is rotated about 37 degrees.
