okay that is a common mint error for those years , i have several.. the nifty

 

I dont see common?

 

Looks to be about 135* rotation. I know condition is everything. Mine prob seen heat/circulation. But, a estimate value of this would help me out. Thanks!

 

honestly try to find a comparable one in a error catalog

 

Nice catch. I know I never seen an ‘83 like that.

 

Climate change (pun, lol)

 

Appears to be within mint specs, but I'd certainly keep it as an example. Better flatten those staples before you are roasted on this forum. LOL

 

where are you getting this list from

 

I was thinking that too.

 

FYI.

Mint specs are around 27 degrees (I may be off a couple). The OPs coin is approx 135 degrees as stated previously.

 

Gotcha. I was looking at it incorrectly. Darned medication again. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

 

Wow! Is all I can say

 

Yes, I looked at other 135 D rotated dies. Very close

 

I could see the rotation better if you flipped the coin the way you flip the page of a book, instead of turning the coin upside down. Nice find.

 

Coin is flipped like you would any coin to see rotation at least I thought. 12:00 and 6:00. I dunno, my thoughts!

 

Since the reverse is upside down if you flip it like a page, I prefer the coin not
be turned upside down.

 

Thats how I caught the rotated die. Because it was upside down. Little confused! . When I usually flip it the memorial isnt upside down. I guess you do what benefits ur search

 

Your welcome

 

I almost posted the same as you and actually had to look at it twice to see that it was a significant rotation.
