Surf-city-NC Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 11/25/2017 5:39 pm Going through some proof sets earlier today, I realized I've got a couple of proof coins with die rotation. The most severe is a little bit over 20 degrees counter clockwise on a 79 nickel (type 2 "s"). Is that severe enough to add value? Report this Post to the Staff

On proofs, I am not sure if the same standards would apply for Rotated Dies. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 11/25/2017 5:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/25/2017 5:45 pm On a business strike, I agree with E&V that you would only see a premium if it were 90° or more. I'm not sure about proofs since they're held to stricter standards of quality.

The eBayers are like carp on bread when it comes to a 30° rotation - just can't quit your day job! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/25/2017 7:30 pm I feel the 45 degree and above would be a good indicator. How much is 45 degrees? If you have a 2X2, you would draw a line from one corner to the corner farthest away. Then you would have it. Report this Post to the Staff
