CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 08/17/2013 6:26 pm Hello. I have discovered my first error coin. It is a 1979-D Lincoln Cent with a rotated die. I have looked around, and discovered they are only really collectible if rotated more than 15 degrees. Mine is rotted ten degrees, so does that make truly worth nothing more than ONE CENT? Another side question: for a 15 degree rotation, what would the value be? All help is appreciated. Thank you. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

That said, you could probably sell yours on the bay for a quarter with a dollar shipping. keep up the hunt though! Report this Post to the Staff
