2016 penny with multiple errors.

I'm trying to find anyone who can give me some info inregards to a 2016 penny that has a broken die on the obverse and the reverse is rotated.

Both are common enough, but less so when in a pair of dies. The rotation is probably the more interesting condition but it depends on the severity of the rotation. It needs to be significant before it generates any kind of premium. Broken die can mean many things, so without pictures, it's tough to say what you have there. Might be a simple crack/chip or perhaps a cud/retained break. So, post some photos and the group can comment.

 

You will need to show a picture in order for us to be able to help you. A broken or worn cracked die would cause Die Breaks on a coins. They come in many shapes and sizes on any and all coins.

 

Where are your photos so we can see what you are asking about?

Welcome to CT.

 

The reverse is rotated about 95 degrees

 

Here is an article concerning the cent you are asking about -

Do you actually have the cent? Is it in your possession? Or you just want information about it?
Please post a picture of the cent itself and not a computer screen.

 

This looks to be a rim-to-rim die break. That is significant and desirable. 95 degrees is significant as well. I would also like to see the full images. Can you photograph the obverse and reverse as paddy suggested?

 

@TFirm ...also, prop the coin in front of a mirror and post a picture of that...this will illustrate the reverse rotation sufficiently...95 degrees is definitely impressive and collectable...

the rim to rim die break is way cool...and, 2016 Philly has doubled die varieties too...have you checked the coin for those?...you may have a hat trick!…Spark

 

i do have the coin and i will get some better pictures of it today

 

Try a full clear picture of both sides..

Neat. The error is explained in the article I provided.
Really nice find.

@JCro57 an @Fred Weinberg would like this error.

I posted large size of your first pictures


@mikediamond will like your coin also

 

That's an impressive die break, especially the shift over the date. Nice!

 

That's a really cool error Tfirm.

 

Extremely nice die crack. Sweet!!!

 

Bravo!! Terrific find!! Thanks for the extra pictures.

 

Wow! You've given my enthusiasm for checking recent mintages a much-needed shot in the arm! Thank you and congratulations!

 

@Lembeck13 It is a very good reminder. These periodic successes really do restore hope in finding a 'lucky penny' while on the hunt.

 

Very good find. I think it's great. Waiting to hear from the pros

 

Yep @TFirm the pros are drooling. You made their day. Thanks
