Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 03/09/2011 02:11 am I was looking at my '13 Buffalo and realized that it has about a 25-30 degree CCW rotation. Is this a common rotated reverse for this coin? I hope not, because this one is a gem. Or is that rotation not significant enough?

Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 03/09/2011 03:27 am Scooby, found this post from last year. If you scroll down Robuddo says that Buffalo's are common with 45 degrees of rotation or less. Found a post on another forum (not sure if I'm allowed to post the link?) that says the same. http://www.cointalk.com/t12231/ Not sure if that helps, just up late, bored, and googling.

A few other more commonly seen dates are the 1916 and the 1924-D. IMHO they're worth a modest premium. I once had a MS-63 1913 V-1 with a prominent double-profile that was certified. It brought about 20% over bid. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 5:21 pm If you put those Indian Head Nickels and Mercury dimes in an Album and turn any page you would think your drunk. For those Nickels about 20% have some rear rotations. Mercury dimes even more so. Probably about 25% or way more. You spend all kinds of time making sure the obverse is all nicely lined up and then you turn the page and they are all over the place. At one time I was planning on making a plaque with Mercury dimes showing rotations from 0 to 90 degrees but just got tired of that since so many are like that. Report this Post to the Staff
