    Hello,

    What kind of grade would you give this nickel. Also, it has a pretty nice rotated die. Im guessing about 20 degrees. Is that enough to make it more valuable? I have 4 just like this, but 2 are not noticeably rotated, and the other 1 is rotated 10-15 degrees.

    I'd call it EF/AU. This date is commonly found in this grade.

    The die rotation is not significant enough to warrant a premium. Or, at least, I wouldn't pay a premium for it. This is also commonly found on these coins. A 180-degree rotation (medal alignment) would call for a premium, but not 20 degrees.

    In a low grade and to a rotated die collector you could get a few dollars for the error, but in xf/au the grade out weighs the error...

    20 degrees and under are within mint tolerance esp. for nickles
