I saw a pix of a 1922-D lincoln cent with a rotated reverse, its the 1st one I've seen. It was approx. 160 degrees CW. Has anyone else seen one? Its not listed on rotateddies.com.. Can't help but wonder if this is a short lived error that was caught quickly...
Never heard of Rotateddies.com. Sounds like one of the many, many individuals jumping in on the coin craze. Sort of like when Beanie Babies were popular and they were being sold at even Walgreens. They were everywhere. Now all POOF. Probably the same with many of those types of web sites. As to your rotated reverse. Those are the most over looked type of error on coins and the most valueless due to that. Remember that one the most important factors in coins values is popularity. Even in the famous Red Book on pages 400 and up where it discusses error coins, reverse rotations are not even mentioned. Some coins are very constant with rotated reverses. The Mercury Dime for example I would extimate as about 20% have some degree of rotated reverses based on the approximately 3,000 of them I have. Also, I've heard discussions that it is really the obverse that is rotated. HMMM. SO, if you put a coin in a 2x2 with the reverse up and down and then turn it over and the obverse is rotated, does that make it a obverse rotation? Then you take the same coin and put the obverse straight up and down. Now is the reverse is rotated? The main thing here is not many people, even error collectors, will pay much for a reverse/obverse, rotated coin unless it is excessively rotated.
