[h=2][/h]Preston found the foreign coin mixed bin and picked out 10/$2.00. He also has a mixed lot of Canadian coins with many rotated dies. Many of the foreign obverse and reverse don't match up. Is this a common occurrence or something a little more rare?
As far as I know, it is not exactly common but not rare either. Most non-US coins have parallel (↑↑) alignment these days, so if you see that, it is perfectly normal. If the rotation is "in between", that is something which occurs from time to time. Whether it commands a premium ... I'd say No. But some collectors are after them, especially when such pieces come from mints where die rotation hardly ever occurs. Christian
It's not that common in u k coins. In fact it's 1 of the ways of. telling if a pound coin is counterfeit
Seems we don't have that many counterfeited coins here, but how common (or not) die rotation is, that depends on the mint, I think. Among Belgian euro and cent coins, for example, you can find quite a few; Dutch or German ones, for example, will be more difficult to find. So do British coins with die rotation command higher prices in the UK? Hmm, maybe I should have a second look at mine. Christian
". So do British coins with die rotation command higher prices in the UK? Hmm, maybe I should have a second look at mine. " there is very little interest in error coins in general here in the u k. At one time in the past it was considered as a defect in the condition of the coin.
I don't think any of them are from the UK, but he has a few from Bermuda, Canada, and some other countries where I cannot translate the language lol I shall post pictures.
