Hi, Im guessing this is a common error and a minor one. Im just not sure of the terminology for it. When i check through coins in the register i hold them between my index finger and thumb, examine a side, flip the coin and check the other side. This penny was misaligned on the flip. It was actually the rim that initially caught my eye and brought me in for a 2nd look. So what is this called, how common are they and how extreme of a misalignment can they be? Thanks for help/info info
That is a Rotated Die. Slightly off.. maybe about 10° rotationwhich is a normal small tolerance for this occurrence. Usually rotations more than 15° - 20° rotationare more collectable. Yours is common. I want to share this webpage with you - http://www.maddieclashes.com/rotated-die-error/
TJ.. I sent you a message on another thread.. Start your own unique thread with your own images and questions Why do you keep piggybacking on other members threads? Your question is not even related to this coin in question from an older thread!
Another way for good pic is: hold your cent up to a mirror then take the pic, from the front towards the mirror, and cut your flash down, worked for me-----good luck
