State Quarter Rotated Die. Common Or Rare?

I don't buy those kind of flips. I have the plastic flips. I cut a hole in some paper and drew numbers around the coin to mimic what you mean. Numbers are upside down on the back but you get the idea.

Are you flipping on the vertical or horizontal axis? You should be flipping along the horizontal axis to determined how much a die is rotated.

You have to flip top to bottom. So if you're holding the quarter upright, the top of Washington's head comes towards you. There should be something on YouTube that shows how to do it. Looking at your last set of images, you are flipping from side to side, like the pages of a book or like spinning a globe. This isn't the right way. I can guess an angle, but if you could grab a picture spinning top to bottom, it'd be easier.

From the video I watched it is a 45 degree rotation. Here are my updated pictures . As proper as I can photo them. Also the edge picture requested.

Okay awesome, the more the better. I thought it was a nice quarter to have this rotation error. I think I'll send it in for grading just so it's on record and maybe it'll be worth a few bucks. I'm glad I finally found something haha.

Yeah, I'll get some opinions on the possible grading of the coin and see what it may grade out as. I have seen maybe 5-10 Deleware Quarters with rotated dies on ebay and auction sites but, I have seen only one New Jersey with this rotation anywhere and nothing mentions it as being a error coin to look for. I wonder if it's actually more valuable because no one has really seen these as much or just haven't looked at them. Is this error for this Quarter a common thing or possibly rare?! The coin on the link here looks about the same condition and rotation as mine. Someone bought it for $60.00 acording to the link. It looks like it was graded and sold like ten years ago is my guess. Check out the link to compare mine to it.

Honestly, I believe yours will grade lower. I didn't put a number guess on the thread because I'm not super familiar with the series, but my gut feeling is it'll fall between XF40 and AU50, maybe AU 53? (I'll pop back to that thread to check after I finish this post.)

It's not listed as an error to look out for because it can happen to any coin during any given year. It stems from how it happens. (For some error reading in general, I would recommend http://www.error-ref.com/ If you wanted something quicker, you could look at the wikipedia page on mint errors, but that's far less comprehensive.) Anyway, there are three dies that are used in the minting of any coin: obverse die, reverse die, and collar. A rotated die error occurs when the hammer die rotates and ends up striking a coin with two faces that are not 180 degrees from each other.

Most of the cherrypick guides list varieties that are created by a flaw or quirk on the die itself -- like a doubled die or oddly placed die gouge. Rotated dies fall into the category of errors that happen by chance, like die cracks or die clashes. As for value, I would go with whatever ebay has in recent sale history. I wouldn't necessarily look for a NJ quarter, just a Washington quarter or Statehood Quarter. I have a 30 degree CCW rotated JFK half dollar, and those are uncommon enough on ebay that I wasn't even bothering with looking for the same year mint mark -- any rotated die half would have sufficed for comparison purposes. (Also, your coin isn't graded, so it wouldn't go for as much as your linked example.) Working off that price point alone, if I was selling, I would list it with a buy it now price of $40-50 (hoping for a walk up sucker) but also enable best offers and see what the market demand is. I'll hop over to ebay and price compare there.

Just finished looking at ebay. Results inconclusive. I searched " Washington quarter rotated die" and saw four listings. The last two don't look like rotated dies. The first two derive the bulk of their value from their grade and holder. I'm too lazy to delve further in and see what premium can be assigned to the die rotation.
