KHatt Valued Member Canada 291 Posts	Posted 06/22/2018 9:41 pm Hi, I primarily collect Canadian Coins, but I recently bought a 2 cent coin at a flea market in Niagara Falls, Canada. It was neat and the price was good. Grade is Fine When I got it home I noticed it had a die rotation of about 12 degrees. Is this a common error for the type? Does it command any premium?

In order for a coin with a Rotated Die error to carry a premium over face value, it has to be rotated 90 degrees or more. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/23/2018 09:43 am Tolerance is usually considered to be 15 degrees. I don't think it has to be rotated 90 degrees or more, I'd say interest starts developing at around 45 degrees. Report this Post to the Staff

However, as Conder101 said, only 45 degrees rotation is required for it to have collector interest. Report this Post to the Staff
