GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 12:50 pm Yesterday I was at a coin shop that had a NGC proof V nickel. I can't stop thinking about it. The year was ... I think 1902 or 1903. The thing about it is, it is 180 degree rotated. The shop owner did not want to come up with a price until he could figure out that the Die rotation gives it more value. My thoughts are, there are only around 2K mintage on these proofs. There must have been a low number of die's use. If one was set up wrong, for incorrect die rotation, then there could be a large percentage of these made the same way. So what I am getting at ..... Does a 180 die rotation give this coin any value.

"Known Population" is derived from any research performed by those that write the book on these types of nuances. Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 10/24/2013 2:51 pm Based on historical auctions...medallion rotation seems somewhat common...bout 30%....but you must remember, auctions are biased towards the "cool stuff" so you will likely see more of the rotated die (medallion) varieties in an auction that the regular population at large. That being said...they don't see to be particularly rare amongst the rest of this production run Edited by unholyroller 10/24/2013 3:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
