Does a rotated mint mark add any value?

I like it thanks for posting very obvious. Keep it for sure who cares the value very cool

 

Just plainly NO. I encourage you to read up on the minting process. Especially how dies are made.

It looks nice but I wouldn’t pay you two cents for it. Welcome to CT.

 

What does doubled dies have to do with my thread? This is about a rotated mint mark.

 

Look at the link. It is how dies are made.

 

I know how they are made. Again, this is a rotated mint mark. Here is a link for you. https://www.error-ref.com/rotated-mintmark/

 

So since the MM are hand punched into the working die they can be in any position or slight rotation. And the mint used that die to strike. Hundreds of thousands of coins just like it.
So, why would it be valuable?
I merely was trying to have you answer your own question.
The coin isn't a RPM so why would it have any extra value?

 

Due to the degree of the rotation I was asking if there was any added value. While most rotated dies are just a few degrees off, this one appears 10-15 degrees off. More then most.

 

And when mintmarks are rotated more then 10 degrees, they would do a repunched mintmark. So not only is it an error, it is one that seems like it should have been repunched and wasn’t. Thus, I was asking if there was any added value to this error coin.

 

It cant be an error if it is on the die that produced hundreds of thousands of coins. There are many positions and rotations for a handpunched MM. Most RPM's are not due to trying to correct a rotation, it is because the initial punch was weak and the punch was replaced in a slightly different position for the second strike.

 

You are reading too much into this.
It has NO added value.

 

The answer is no.

 

I’m going to guess that there are more like it. But I would save.

 

Got me thinking about that 1975D nickel

 

Thanks for showing

 

WoW! You learn something every day.
Especially how arguments start over a crummy cent.

 

If you read the info on the website you shared carefully it explains what a true rotated mint mark is. The first cent shown is within tolerance and is slightly tilted not the rotation desired for true collection such as the other two shown.

FYI - just because it's shown on the Error-ref website doesn't mean that it's going to have a premium.
If you see it on ebay or etsy being offered for a ridiculous large premium you need to ignore them.
They are usually listings created by ignorant newbies.

I'm trying to help and not discourage you.

It seems that you are more interested in trying to make money from all the different issues you can find. Many are minor errors or varieties which have very little or no premium at all.

Take it from me who has been collecting errors for 36 years.

 

That is a Misplaced MM and there were still hundreds of thousands of these minted. These at the time were just overlooked. And the majority used in commerce. Also these are still within the mints tolerance. PCGS doesn't even recognize the variety. But, NGC will attribute it..
PS, If it wasn't for an article in Coin world. The coin would be worth 5 cents
