mcanniz Valued Member United States 486 Posts	Posted 07/03/2015 8:54 pm 1983 cent with a rotated reverse. its a bit more rotated than it looks because the starting position is rotated a bit the opposite way. it was flipped perfectly over (i had it in a 2x2 lined up against a piece of molding). is it worth anything? and do you think this coin would benefit from an acetone bath due to all the gunk or is it better to leave it alone?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 12:29 am Sometimes during a clash, the die may rotate a bit. I always figure over 45 degrees to make them collectable. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 02:15 am I've also sometimes noticed that when you put coins in 2x2's, and you flip them as perfect as you can vertically, they appear to be MAD's, but when you hold the coin it is not. So I'm not sure completely here. Report this Post to the Staff

jdiablo30 Pillar of the Community United States 946 Posts	Posted 07/04/2015 06:32 am I think the mint allows for a 8 degree difference in rotation. Like someone said it has to be really significant to draw a higher premium. Report this Post to the Staff
