kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 09:25 am About 10° as I see it. I don't believe it's unusual nor significant. IMO for IHC's it should be about 90° or more to become important. The older the coin to more often die rotation is encountered. But worth keeping; make a notation on the 2x2.

Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 3:49 pm Very cool find. Is it true that if the rotation is more then 18 degree's then it would get a premium? Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure on that one, to be honest. This coin in particular has been cleaned, so I can't imagine this would have much of a premium Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 7:04 pm The 90-degree figure that kanga mentioned can be pretty much accepted as a standard. I imagine a few issue-specific exceptions exist but I don't know of any off the top of my head. Report this Post to the Staff

I hope the other coins I have recently purchased aren't also cleaned..... I never would have guessed this one is cleaned.....what do I need to look for in order to tell if an IH has been cleaned or not? Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 11:36 am Not to uncommon for many coins to have that much of a reverse rotation. Really common with Mercury dimes and Buffalo nickels. Report this Post to the Staff
Dar Pillar of the Community United States 1476 Posts	Posted 05/27/2015 7:09 pm Quote: This coin in particular has been cleaned To tell the truth, I can't tell from these images if it has been cleaned or not. How can you? If it were then wouldn't BOTH side show it had been? Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/28/2015 8:55 pm IF it was ever cleaned it was a long time ago. To much dirt inside letters and numbers. Report this Post to the Staff
