Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 4:33 pm I have a 1950 penny from my lit with a little die rotation, I have no idea how to tell how rotated it is, the point of George's neck lines up with the D in Canada so it would have to be pretty minor like 10° maybe. I see some smaller die rotations sold on ebay but none that I looked at were pennies. So I imagine if they did hold any value it would be like 5-10¢? Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 5:05 pm @john100, I see a fair amount of sold listing in ebay with minor premiums for 15-25° rotations. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 5:11 pm I'll hold onto it untill I find a more severe rotation. For my error collection. I think most of the ebay listings sold were silver so people like to bid in silver to get it for as close to it's silver value with a little wiggle room I assume. Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 7:47 pm Good point, a rotated die is a cool error to me since it's my first notable one( can actually notice that it's off easily) and if you have the money and time people in sure have no issue paying for even severe Die Deterioration coin, I live paycheck to paycheck, if I wanted I'm sure I could make a few bucks just selling randomness lol. Take 50 random pennies roll them up and put them on for 1$ it would probably sell. I'm not poor at all but where I live (Hamilton Ontario) the price of living has at least doubled in 5 years. And you own a home here ... 15 years ago you could but a really nice house for 100,000-150,000. Those houses not are selling for 900,000-well over a million. And that just a nice 3-4 bedroom not like a mansion lol. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 08/20/2021 7:54 pm The last letters of the legend on the Obv should be horizontal on the bottom tips ... the letters, not the abbreviation(colon). For the Rev, Cent should be horizonal. Small rotations don't mean much. Edited by okiecoiner 08/20/2021 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff
