1956 D rotated die penny

It may not garner a premium, but IMO, it's a keeper.

Ok, thanks.

 

Please be aware that handling a coin with metal tweezers, forceps or other metal instrument can severely damage the coin and greatly reduce the value.

It could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars if it's done with a very rare coin.

 

Ok. They barely had enough pressure to hold it. I know it can also sca scratch it. I was careful though.

 

That's got some good rotation. My kid has probably 60 pounds of wheats. Now you're going to make me check all of ours and I already have a day job lol!

 

Tom.. If you have any questions concerning any coin you have you should create your own separate and unique thread under the Error Coins forum. You will get a lot more views and responses that way.

 

Dip those tweezers. lol

OK, I will see what I can do.

 

My father in law says it looks about 20 degrees rotated.

 

Well, I wasn't ordering you to do it. It was just a suggestion.

 

I like Your suggestions. These are things I need to know.

 

This isn't 100% accurate, but it looks to be about 22 or 23 degrees?

 

Thank you! That's a great tool!

 

I just noticed that the coin holder is slightly crooked in the picture, but it is still around 20 or so at least.

Edit: I just went and rotated your picture so it's pretty much square, and it's still about 22 degrees.

 

The coin is rotated about 20 to 22 degrees. does that add any value to it?

Sheila,
I applaud you for four things: 1) Spending a lot of time searching; 2) Posting good photos; 3) Being open to learning and graciously accepting the voice of experience without being argumentative; 4) "Getting back in the saddle again," so to speak, when your excitement and hope about a find gets dashed. You've posted some interesting coins already. Good luck.
Steve

 

Thank you. I love doing this, drop I won't just give up that easily. Lol, it is what I do to relax.

 

Maybe the mirror image has confused some observers. Paddyman shows a case of 165 degrees which should have been 180 degrees, thus showing a case that is off 15 degrees. Sheila's penny is more like 165 degrees off. Just go to your Whitman coin holders and see that every cent shifts 180 degrees when you turn the page. Don't spend your penny Sheila.

 

I have it put in my collection. Thanks for the information.
