2008 P rotated nickel

I posted this I while back ago. I had posted it at the wrong angle. What degrees what you say this is rotated? And does anybody know if it would have any kind of decent premium?

I would say about 15% but don't know much about value.

 

I believe @paddyman98 , but what am I doing wrong with my cool protractor app on my smart phone?

 

45 or 135. Can't tell.

 

I found one from the Dark Side, it still fits the topic.

Doug's got it right.

 

90 - 44 = 46 degrees? Nah, I have no idea.

Check this out. It might not be the same date or condition but you can kind of get an estimate guess

 

It appears you flipped it from side to side instead of top to bottom.

Yep, you most certainly did. :-(

You should put a visible mark at 12:00 above TJ's head and when you flip it, that mark should be a 6:00.

 

Also Sheila... The Nickel is tilted slightly in the holder. Straighten it out a bit. The Obverse looks a bit tilted to the left.

Rotated Dies are sometimes a bit hard to attribute especially with the different angles they move.

 

Or you can make a dot above jeffersons head so when you flip the coin we can see where the dot is so we know where the top of his head located from the reverse side

 

brilliant

 

exactly eleventeen of any unit you wish to assign

I think Rotated Eleventeen Capricious would look good on the label

 

Nice coin! Well beyond tolerance. Value idk, but a keeper indeed.

 

Great fishing SR

 

Sheila, you are ignoring that if you wish to calculate, without triple-jointed and behind-the back forensic geometry, you must flip the coin from top to bottom to avoid putting anyone, or yourself through that to determine the number of degrees it is rotated. It may be ~45, 135, or maybe 270? degrees of rotation, I stopped when I realized you tossed everyone in the 'trick bag" noting the little spec of dust above and to the right of TJ's head moved to the left in your second picture.

I'm thinking you should know better than that, but, maybe not?

I just know I refused to do the calculations although it can still be done.

Repost before and after pix with it flipped correctly.

 

Sheila, that's a big rotation. You hardly see that on modern coins. It's certainly unique.

 

Here is top to bottom I thought I posted this. Sorry.

 

just under 45 degrees or 12.5% shown.

Probably exactly 45 degrees since I do agree you probably should rotate the coin in the airtite, as Paddyman pointed out, to level out the date for proper indexing.

that's how you do it, nice find

did you ever study that 1979 nickel and match yours to it?

 

No have not studied the 79 yet. I will take a look.

 

Please do, I am of the opinion it is a very late die stage of a unattributed DDO that was discovered on this forum this year, yet dismissed as circulation wear. The one shown in the 3 images I included in that post.

Those fat devices caught your good eye for good reason.
