Does anyone know about 1 ounce silver coins with a rotated reverse? I have seen lots of regular coins but not any real silver ones. Thanks *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ****** Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! *** |

are you talking about silver rounds, bullion, or actual coins from a specific country?  |

Does anyone know about 1 ounce silver coins with a rotated reverse? Sure, Lots of folks here on CCF know loads of stuff. Your coin could be a Canadian Maple, an American Silver Eagle, or any number of other countries that strike 1oz bullion coins. On the other hand, it could just be an assayed unit of 1oz from any number of refineries in various countries... but first we're going to need a little more information. Does the coin indicate what country it originated? Does it have a monetary value on the face? ($1/£5 etc.) Is there a year stamped on it? Pictures would be great, but a little more context may help us identify what you may have too. And again, |

That is a generic silver round. There is probably not much inspection or quality control.

Do you know how old it might be? Would you know what mint would have made it? I would think it is U.S.

Thank CopperCastle, Do you think it would be more valuable then a regular one? Is it worth keeping as a error coin in your opinion?

Always some one on ebay willing to over pay for those kinds of errors may not be worth as much as other coins seeing it is bullion but to some that doesn't seem to make much difference ,they pay big money for slabbed bullion eh, to each their own. Put it on ebay for $1000 lol, you never know.  |

Is it really an error though? I feel like I've gotten generic rounds before where the obverse and reverse are inconsistent with each other.

Elimist, I am no expert of course, that's why I came on here to get some advise. I have seen some online that look just like mine that are straight, so it could be an error or it could be sloppy work by the maker. If I do decide to sell it I will not list it as a "error" coin. I will let the buyers decide for them selves.
Pillar of the Community, Thanks for the advise. Whether or not it is officially an "error" it is probably still rare, and like you said some collectors will still want any coin that is different then it was intended to be. :)

"Error" rounds and medals are not particularly valuable, because of the general lack of quality control, and the question of whether or not it really is an "error". I've known of small "mints" (medal factories) where, if you asked for it and were prepared to pay for it, they'd happily make for you any kind of "error" you wish.
