47P7 Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 08/19/2020 3:44 pm Is Die Rotation of Canadian 1964 10 cent coins determined clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW)? I believe this or similar subjects have been up on the forum numerous times. If so, I am sorry if it is boring for some of you. However, I could not find the info I am looking for explained in an easy and not in a round about way. Please assume that medal or coinage alignments do not play a part as these are a known setting. Die rotation I am asking for is fractional and is outside either of these preset boundaries. My questions are these: 1 Is the amount of Die rotation degrees decided with the coin, obv up = 0°, coin facing you? 2 Is the coin rotated from 0° CW or CCW to get the approximate die rotation in degrees? 3 What is the minimum rotation required for it to become recognized as a rotated die? 4 would it be correct to say, based on the image, that this 1964 10 cent coin is about 240+ degrees CW rotated? Any comment to clarify this issue are welcome and much appreciated. Thank you all. Report this Post to the Staff

Mint tolerances are between 12 and 15 degrees, usually anything more than 20 degrees usually is recognized as having a rotated die. Highest premiums are for 90/270 degree and 180 degree die rotations.
