tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6112 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 1:57 pm Found this one last night. Guessing it's rather a rare one as not listed in the census of rotated die coins. They certainly had a problem in Denver that year with rotating dies, but this is the first one I've seen on a 1924-P. 1924 Lincoln Wheat cent mint error - rotated dies 90 degrees Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 4:34 pm Very nice! I've flipped 10s of thousands of coins in the couple years since I started hunting, and have only found one significant die rotation error, so always jealous of these! One of my favorite kinds of errors. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5775 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 8:21 pm Very nice TB. Not so easy to spot. Quote: How much of a premium would you place on something like this? I found this sold listing for a 1924D. 30.00 plus shipping. https://www.ebay.com/itm/133819880760 We have to take the sellers word that it's rotated because they only rotated the image of the reverse! But it gives an idea what someone might pay for one. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6112 Posts	Posted 08/26/2021 9:45 pm Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! Was truly a surprise when this one was flipped. As for value, these usually top out around $65, and I've seen 1940-S fail to sell at that level. But for now it's the only one I've ever heard of on this date, so probably would hit $75 as there would be a couple collectors keen to get their paws on it. These are really hard to collect, as the least rare examples on Lincoln cents are R5 (31-80 known) and they are tough to find and almost never come up for sale. Interesting side fact, 11 of the 21 Lincoln Cent rotated dies listed in the census are from 1972-D or 1973-D. I have never seen any from either of these dates. Report this Post to the Staff
