I have no idea how to measure this. Do you think this one is rotated enough to matter?   |

Looks about 10 degrees I wouldnt say it was enough to be of any collectability. If you want to measure it since your obverse is straight up and down Then you can draw a vertical line through the middle of holder from one end of holder to other on the reverse. Then draw a vertical line through the middle of coin using the coin and not the holder as your up and top and bottom. going from one end of the holder to the other end. Use a protractor to measure degree / difference in between the 2 lines you drew

Thanks Tweak, I'll do that. How many degrees would be collectable?

I'm not sure with the jeffersons but mmost desireabl of course is 180 degrees and most people say they won't keep them unless they are over 90 degrees. Me I have found a couple quarters around 30 degrees and keptthem. It really would be a preference thing but the mint does have a tolerence and I'm not sure what that is but if you look that 10 won't be much over tolerence ieven if tolerence was 2 degrees. I would keep it till I found a better example though

Yep, I appreciate the info. This place is a lot to take in, almost all at once. I think I learn about 30% at a time,lol, but I enjoy it. Edit: I seem to remember the tolerance at 5% but I could be wrong.

Looks like 10.5 degrees. Not a real collectable. (I thought it looked more rotated, but it is what it is.

Thank you Coop. It's the best one I've found, I check every coin I look at just by the method I use to check them. These have not been plentiful for me, so I'll keep it for a while,

IMO for a Jeff you need about 90° for significant value.
But about 45° would make a nice collectible.

A while ago, coop taught me that I could take the photo of the rotation and use a photo management program to rotate it until it was vertical. I think most of them show degrees of rotation, so it can be read from the screen. I have done it that way since, because it seems to me to give the most accurate degree of rotation than any other method.

The way I do it is to try a number of degrees. If it is too short/to far, then I go back a step and alter the number until I get the correct answer in a full number. (that way I don't have to add up the numbers) I get the right number all totaled. You can do this by using the history on your program.
