I was wondering if this is an error of sorts. I have not cracked open the case housing this coin yet but can do so for better pictures if that may be necessary. The obverse and reverse don't seem to be aligned on the Mercury dime compared to the Franklin half dollar. Thanks for your time. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/01/2019 9:38 pm It looks like the it's a slightly rotated die. Most collectors like to see 90 degrees of rotation before it classifies as an error, with the most desirable rotation at 180 degrees. I don't know the rotation on your coin would add anything to the value. Edit: Grammar/spelling ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 10/01/2019 9:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff
