juliusolis Valued Member United States 175 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 3:27 pm Is there any premium for this? I looked at rotateddies.com and 1938 is not on the list. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21599 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 3:57 pm Not really rotated enough for a premium. The minimum for most collectors is 90 degrees with 180 degrees being the most sought after. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 02/13/2021 6:10 pm @jo, that is a nice example of a slightly rotated die--looks like about 10 degrees or so, but you should try to get a more accurate value for the angle. Not sure on the potential for a premium, but perhaps a small one especially if there is anyone out there trying to accumulate a date set of rotated dies.
