If an individual had, say a 1992 Silver Proof Set, and the quarter had a die rotation between 20 and 25 degrees, would that increase or decrease the value of the set. All opinions welcomed and thanks for taking the time to read this.
Only a few coins have the ability to raise the price of the set. Most notebly, the issues without the "S" mintmark. A simple die rotation will not effect the value of the other coins in the set. Your coin with a rotation of 20 to 25 degrees while outside of the acceptable levels is not that major of an error. Will not bring much of a premium.
I think i have a 1955 double die wheat penny.The reason i say i think is the last number was almost taken off the coin and only some of it is left in place.Not enough to call it a five.Will this cause my find to be a worthless penny.
I don't think I've ever heard of a modern proof coin (silver or clad) with a rotated die. Not saying they're not out there...I just never heard of one. I just did a google search and found this site...their census link is interesting. ...and another interesting article on the subject. ...and one from CoinFacts. It seems as though there are some out there, but modern proofs with die rotations greater than 20 degrees are quite scarce...from what I can find.
Woody, I think you asked this question in another thread too.....It is better to start your own thread of something (and include a picture) so that people can read and answer it if they wish.
Woody, it sounds like you have yourself what is called a "poor man's double die". It's a 1955-P cent usually with doubling of one or both 5s. When I first started collecting, that was the first "error" type coin I found. Good luck in the future....hopefully you'll get lucky and find the real deal.
this error will not appeal to error collectors (and i say that as someone who specialized in rotated coins!). I believe that it does, however, have the potential to start a small bidding war on Ebay between a couple of people who would *think* it was very valuable because it is, indeed, technically rare. I've seen it a hundred times.
