    Hey guys,
    Was sorting some buffalo nickels I had and noticed this one ---
    The coin is in the exact same place when the photo was taken.
    Does this make then worth anymore than a $1.00?
    Thanks,
    SM

    It's about 22 deg CCW rotated.

    Thanks PyrotekNX! :) Does a rotated die coin add any value to the coin?
    Thanks again,
    SM

    Die rotations are fairly common in that era. It usually doesn't add a premium to the coin unless it is at least 45 deg off. The more it is rotated, the more it's worth. If it was combined with multiple errors like clipped planchet, off center, etc. then it would start bringing in the bucks.

    It's still a nice find though, I would set that one aside and if that date of buff takes off, then I would try to sell it. At this point it's not worth the $$ to have it graded, although it may be someday.
