1994 US Rotated Die Penny (impossible)? Hello All: A few years back I found a 1994 180 degrees rotated die U.S. penny. It's in good condition. I've spend years looking through coin books and researching, only to find that rotated dies aren't worth too much - that is, the years where they happen. One coin specialist noted that the change in US methods of creating pennys (something with the plates) makes it almost impossible for a rotated die penny to occur post 1990. I've looked all over the internet, only to find prices for rotated dies and information on rotated dies for years not even up to 1980 for the penny. Would this suggest there are so few post 1990 rotated die pennies that even less of those that are rotated have been found and no one is talking about them yet? Perhaps the answer is too complex for any ordinary specialist, but hopefully if someone who knows a good deal about rotated dies comes across this post, feel free to respond with any information, perhaps maybe a possible price index. I'd like to know a little more before I go out to an auction or coin show.
I have a 1982 copper penny with a counter clock wise rotated die about 80 degrees also others B U clock wise out of bank rolls not as strong.
From what i understand not alot of peple collect the rotated dies for some reson to me it is the best error you can find other than the 1958 P penny ddo.There is not a good maket at this time.I am waiting for the market to change.before i sell.
Market still hasn't changed since I started collecting rotated dies 20 years ago. Plenty of modern Lincolns on the rotated die census.
in fact, the rotated die census lists that there are an estimated 31 - 80 Lincolns from 1994 with dies rotated between 90 and 180 degrees.
