    I am about halfway through my first nickel box search and this morning I found this outstanding reverse die rotation! My Rota-Flip measures it as a 145° rotation.

    This was really exciting to find. I've looked for die rotations for YEARS when searching Lincoln Cents.....all to no avail. Then I crack my FIRST box of Jeffs and find one halfway into it. Hilarious!

    So, can anyone give me some idea of what you think it would grade and value out as?

    Sweet coin congrats man I don’t know the value but I’m pretty sure it’s not worth to much, but definitely worth keeping

    As someone who collects Jefferson nickels, the OP's find is interesting, but there are few people who collect Jefferson modern date errors. The coin clearly grades less than AU... nobody collects modern date Jeffersons that aren't nearly UNC. A 1998P can be bought in UNC for as little as 10 cents raw. Keep it as a conversation piece.
