Hello I went garage sale hopping today and came across a 1975 s proof set with a nickle that has a rotated reverse. I have just a few questions if anyone could help. #1 would a error like this hold any premium? #2 should I leave it in the case or take it out if it's worth selling. #3 If this is a coin worth having slabed should I send in the whole set? Any help or advice is deeply appreciated. There are other issues with the coin other then the rotation but I wanted to check and see if I should take it out of the case at all to inspect. Thanks a bunch!   |

I would say leave it in the case at point. In most cases you get more for it being sealed up.
The rotation is nice, but I am not good a figuring out the degree of rotation - wait for some others to come along like Rackster and CoinMasters, they search nickels in particular.
Good Luck.

Thank you very much, trying not to get to excited, but from the little I've learned over the last 8 months I've been on this new "error" coin hobby I have not seen many Proof error coins....I'd imagine since there are even more steps the coin went through before being released most proof coins with errors would have a higher chance of getting noticed prior to being released to the public. I might be totally wrong on this aspect though, lol so please someone give my poor imagination a break =)

I totally get it and I laughed when I read your last statement because that is exactly what I go through anytime I think I've found something good. The waiting and waiting for our forum members to respond is sometimes unbearable. So I usually get busy searching more coins and then the time goes by faster and I am having fun in the meantime.
Hang in there. CoinMasters & Raskster usally come online in the evenings.

I tend to to hold it up and down with my finger and thumb and flip it right to left.

Look at the coin and just tell me which way these pics were done.

Get in the habit of end over end on USA coins, and sideways for Canadian coins. That way, the design shows right side up on both sides. If you flipped this one sideways, the rotation is minor. If you flipped it top to bottom, it's awesome.
When the rotation approaches 45 degrees the value starts. The condition of the coin is important also. This coin is very nice, don't crack it open.

So would there be a better pic I could take for you? And say its rotation is the one you say would be awesome, would you have a ballpark figure on its worth?

Your saying you held it up and down between finger and thumb then spun it sideways so to me it sounds like it is not a rotated reverse unfortunately(only minor but within tolerance)

How about a shot in front of a mirror... positioned so you can see the obv and rvs at the same time
