twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 12/17/2011 12:36 pm I stopped by a coin buddy yesterday. This guy has some of the wildest rotated die coins as well as multiple rotated die clashed dated coins one could hope to see in a Full show and they are all in one of his boxes. 3 of the coins have PVC on them and are in acetone and I will then run them up the a jewelry shop and hit them with steam. I figure that they are already (Detailed coins already). Maybe with the acetone it will break up. Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/17/2011 5:03 pm Sweet rotations Russ. Love the 2Â¢, I'm doing an entire clock posistion set of them. Love the die cracks, that is from the reverse hub with a full serif on the D of United, looks like that die was doomed to a few more strikes before failure. Love everything about it but the PVC.

robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 06:17 am nice scores in the original post. nice higher grade (PVC issue aside) 1863 with a 80 degree CCW rotation. I would have taken a few of those myself; I've only ever found one rotated coin at a coin shop (always one or two at coin shows). LOVE the 1889-O rotated Morgan, I've never even seen one of those. Nice R-6 on that one. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 06:23 am this seems to have morphed into 'everyone post their own rotated coin'. Not to hijack the original post, but here is one of my favorites. Not my most rare one, but it's an 1868 indian, Proof 65 RB (NGC), 170 degree rotated dies. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 06:35 am Russ, I'm sorry to hear about you Mom, spend your time with her now while you can. My father went through hospice the last couple of years, he passed away 2 weeks ago, never an easy time. Best wishes go out to you through these difficult times.

twohawks Pillar of the Community United States 1551 Posts	Posted 12/21/2011 01:14 am Well here are the 3 after Acetone and a light steaming to blow out the garbage. The last obverse photo is darker then the coin the reverse shows the true color. I will noW just leave them on a oak block for a few mo. and let them completely go back to the color they where "just without the garbage. I would normally never do this but with all the Bio trash in them and PVC I had nothing to lose. It also looks as if I removed the PVC before any metal damage was done. BY THE WAY EVERYONE FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR ROTATED DIE COINS TO THE POST! LET'S MAKE IT FUN! Edited by twohawks 12/21/2011 01:17 am Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 12/23/2011 2:04 pm Note to all: The 1885 Morgan I posted, upon closer look, appears to be counterfeit. (I guess it's easy to be an error coin, if it's fake!) I've asked the Mods to delete my post and I apologize to you all and especially to you, Russ for posting it! Merry Christmas to all!
