How Many of You Have Rotation Errors?

This has alway been an interesting part of collecting coins. I think it would be fun to talk about and see the various RE's everyone has. Here are my only two keepers.
Just let me state that since it is impossible to tell which die was rotated, rotation is always measured to the REVERSE side. Also no RE can be more than 180* CC or CCW.
Okay, let's see em.----------------Thanks zeke.

Here are mine!

 

I have 31 Large cents, Flying eagles and Indian cents with rotations of at least 85 degrees.

Here are two of my favorites. First is an 1868 PF65-RB (NGC) with a 170 degree rotation and the other is an 1865 MS62-RB with a 135 degree rotation (plus clashed dies).

 

I have two decent ones. The '41 wheatie I found in an auction lot about a year ago. I have it at about 160 degrees CCW. The '89 commem dollar i won recently on ebay not knowing it was a rotated die. It's a full 180 degrees rotation and is listed on rotateddies.com as an R4:smile

 

That commemorative pickup was a HUGE win. And it's gorgeous.

 

Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised to say the least when I got it in the mail. I won this one and another one from the same seller for $31.35 shipped for both back in September. I thought I was just getting a good deal on a couple commems at a small premium above melt.........I had no idea!

 

Here's a couple.

I always look, and I have gone through a lot of boxes while searching. Yet to find one. Does anyone have advice on what modern cents to look for ?

I would recommend the Rotated Die Coin Census web site for additional information.

I went through about five pounds worth of pennies from my saved pocket change... I've yet to find one....

 

I have an 1809 Normal Date Half Cent with a reverse rotated about 90 degrees.

 

Might be a good thing to point out: when we talk about a coin's rotation, we should talk in degrees. that is, a 180 degree rotation is a 'medalic alignment', and would thus be rotated 50%. A 90 degree rotation would thus be 25%. This gets confusing fast, and I know that half the people who sell these on ebay talk about percent rotated, but really mean degrees.

Just a point for clarification.

 

I forgot about my neatest rarest coin with a die rotation! It's an 1863 bronze Indian head cent Proof 62, with a die rotation of 170 degrees.

 

I love rotated dies. I save all I find.
