Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/01/2023 3:51 pm @ene, the best way to show a rotated die is by taking a picture of the coin slightly oblique and in front of a mirror so that we can see both sides simultaneously.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95931 Posts	Posted 08/01/2023 4:26 pm If I'm assuming correctly, the obvers side is oriented perfectly vertical and the reverse is rotated? The rotation is nice, but will probably need more to garner a premium with them. Can you post up an image using a mirror? Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95931 Posts	Posted 08/01/2023 10:06 pm Thanks for the extra mirror images, you did well on these. And I think that you do have a slight rotation here ,but not enough to warrant a rise in value. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34409 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 01:10 am Yes those pictures help to confirm. Good to save as an example until you find one that is off by even farther. Here is a link to a website devoted to these things to help you with your research: http://rotateddies.50webs.com/index.html Also, please remember to flatten those staples on the 2x2s. You don't want to accidentally scratch another coin if they make contact.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15425 Posts	Posted 08/02/2023 05:48 am to the CCF Agree they are both rotated die examples and while fun to find no real numismatic premium. Save them until better examples come along. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
