okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5588 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 07:17 am VF-20 for actual wear, but it's had the life sucked out of it by rigorous cleaning. Would be a net F-12/15 because of that. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/25/2021 1:49 pm One other thing about this example that I just noticed - the two sides are rotated about 30° off from the correct medal alignment. I believe that makes it an error coin. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

I've never seen a definitive quantitative threshold for how much misalignment enhances a coin's worth, like, say, 45°. Everybody seems to agree that a rotation of between 90 and 180° is always "significant" or "substantial" but otherwise generally hedge that these qualitative assessments are dependent on the particular issue under discussion. Obviously, now I'd like to know the incidence with which die rotation is observed at all as regards the 1858 or even the 1859 Canadian cents. Interestingly, I just went to put away an 1859, and it's off by, say, 25 or 30° as well. So maybe this is pretty common.
