NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 03/25/2008 11:57 pm I have an 1889 VAM 18A with a rotated die. I am wondering if the rotated die is something that would be present on all examples of this variety, or if it is something that could be an anomaly. If it is only on this coin, would it increase the value? The rotation is approximately 15 degrees off. Any opinions would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 03/26/2008 9:27 pm Thanks for the feedback. I thought it was pretty cool to find an R-6 variety with a rotated die. I don't think I will ever sell it so I guess the value doesn't matter. Report this Post to the Staff
