How much is this worth? Anyone know a ballpark if it had any value?

If it was an actual rotated die?

 

Ok, I'm not sure of the actual term. I took the closest guess. What is the proper term?

 

maybe it is a rotated die interesting way to post it

 

nice find if it is

 

I don't know that it is rotated, only it is definitely turned half sideways on the reverse while the obverse is directly upright. I'm not sure of the proper term to use though.

 

if you take any American coin turn it around by turning it east to west for example the other side would be upside down(opposite) if you completely turn it. if it is off from that it's a partial rotated die. there is no way to prove to anyone that your coin is rotated or partial rotated but if you know you have it then sweet you have a coin that made it past a vigorous quality control the us mint has and you have one I dont have yet

 

Then it is definitely partially rotated.

 

It does look like a rotated die. However, rotations of less than 15 degrees are considered "within tolerance," and don't really add any monetary value to the coin.

 

It is slightly rotated, however, not far enough to give it any value

 

Really? She just proved it with that photo.

Nice one, Sheila.

 

The closest ballpark to me would be Yankee Stadium.. it is worth about - quote "The $2.3 billion stadium, built with $1.2 billion in public subsidies, replaced the original Yankee Stadium." closed quote

 

Seriously now. The guys who mentioned that it is only a slight rotation are correct. It is a common less than 15% rotation and not that desirable to collectors.
The good ones are way more than 15% such as the Medallic Alignment Coins where the Obverse and Reverse both face upward.

Looks like it may be slightly more than the 15 deg tolerance. Generally, more than 90 degrees are where you start to see a premium.
BTW, the easiest way to show the rotation is to put the coin in a cardboard 2x2. Align LIBERTY and the date parallel to the bottom edge as close as you can then flip it over and measure.

 

Great, thanks guys for your help! That clears things up.

 

I have a 1993 wide am penny the am in america is clearly separate and the a on the right side is smaller than the other letters znyone know anything about this coin

 

It would be better if you can post pictures but it can be worth a few hundred to a few thousand if you have a good condition 1.

 

In order to get more exposure, you should also post your coin in a new thread.

 

Am trying to get good pic camera not working right

 

Here is the rotated angle of the penny.
