1960 D/D Lgr Date VS-002NGC MS65RD- also has Die Rotation Error.

I was re-examining this coin and took a closer look at the reverse.

I missed this originally, it also has a decent die rotation error .

*From the pics- how many degrees CW would you say this is off by?*

The coin has been graded MS65 RD- VP002-- total POP 3 by NGC as a 1960 D/D Large Date 1 cent.

Should I look into having this re-attributed to reflect the die-rotation error as increased value. ( RPM on the Obverse and Die Rotation Error on the Reverse)?


Here are some pics.

Opinions welcomed.

Thanks,

Chuck.

WOW! chuckster...
Great coin. Nice grade, too.
Isn't it funny how one can miss that rotated die error.. do you suppose NGC missed it too? What is their policy if they miss something in the attribution and you want to send it back?
If they did miss it, then let them know and maybe they will take it back and to an update.
Just a thought.

Hi jeankay:

First- THANKS! and yeah- sometimes you get so engrossed with one thing you end up overlooking somethingelse which is exactly what I did here!

From what I understand, if you do not request the TPG to attribute both the D/D and die rotation, they are not going to do it on their own.

They will only grade etc what you request/pay for,so I think in this case, maybe they did , and then again, maybe they did not notice it, but since the original owner never requested/ paid to have it labeled as a die rotation also, they did not do it, and as such, are not responsible for missing anything.

I contacted NGC this morning.

Even though I told them I was not the original owner, they will permit me to resubmit under designation services for a fee of only $10.00, but also advised me that ANY die rotation errors must be a minimum of 15 Degrees off before they will label it as a valid error.

I measured this coin with a protractor and I keep coming up at 20 Degrees off, so I'm going to send it in for attribution.
How can you go wrong for the extra $10.00 plus postage etc to have this coin have a double attribution on it.

I bid on this coin along with 7 other slabbed coins in a package deal on Ebay around a month ago and won. (Paid a total of $120.00 including the shipping etc for all 8 coins- approx $15.00 per slabbed coin) but this was not the coin I was really interested in, it was a ICG Graded MS67 1999D Pennsylvania State Quarter that I wanted. Go figure?

Anyway- Thanks again!

Chuck.

 

So how do you know which direction it is rotated? Look at from the obverse and indicate CW or CCW of the reverse?
