Just a cool find I wanted to share :] Got a new coin today and I didn't realize when I bought it - but it's rotated........co0o0ol~ Not sure what the value would be.
I'm not sure what the tolerances are on coins produced in Canada, but in the States, this would still be considered in spec. Using that criteria, it doesn't have a rotation premium. Sorry.
In spec means that it is in the specs for circulation. Just means that a coin is ok to go into the public. Do you only collect Canadian?
So how do you tell with the coin above ? And yes I'm pretty new at it and I live in Toronto, Ontario...so I figured I'd start with Canadian. I feel like the US stuff is kind of overwhelming for me yet. There's a lot more as oppose to Canadian, I think (but what do I know hahah)
I am not too sure how to tell. Maybe google search -what the tolerances are on coins produced in Canada are- and that will help you more.
15% or less is within acceptable tolerances for Canada for coins minted prior to 2000. Probably 10% or less now for modern plated coinage. PS - nice cameo finish on the reverse.
If the question is about: How do you tell, the degree of rotation, with the coin above, I did the following. There are 112 dentals around the edge of the 360 degree rim. Roughly 3.3 degrees between each dental. The dot appears to be the center of the coin with three spaces between dentals needed to bring it to back to center. That gives you approximately 10 degrees of rotation. You could confirm that with a protractor.
