<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 498856, member: 4552&quot;]The possible best way to figure out what it REALLY is worth is to take it to several coin dealers and a few coin shows. Just remember to mention it is not for sale, you just want to know for insurance purposes. If you say you want to sell it you&#039;ld probably be offered a few dollars less than the coin itself is worth. Remember to just say it&#039;s for insurance purposes. </p><p>The problem is the lack of interest in rotated reverses on coins. Another problem is they are seldom noticed due to people just look at the front of a coin and when they turn it over it is difficult to remember how you were holding it. If it&#039;s in a 2x2, you just don&#039;t even pay attention to that problem. </p><p>I have approximately 3,000 Mercury Dimes. Presently have 12 Whitman Albums full of them plus 2x2&#039;s and rolls. With the obverses all in line in an album and you turn the page you find about 20 to 25 % of all Mercury Dimes have rotated reverses. Not as much as 180 degrees but many at 90 degrees. And no one cares about those unless you want a coin in perfect condition. </p><p>Many times at coin shows I haggle with dealers on the Mercury Dime prices if they have rotated reverses. Most dealers have a problem selling them so a decent discount is the way to go.</p><p>As I mentioned before such error coins are in the eyes of the beholder and the value is what someone would pay for them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
