2006 Reverse Proof Rotated Dies

It appears that all of my reverse proofs have somewhat of a rotated die. Can ya see it? I thought it was pretty cool anyways. Just thought I'd share.

Very nice, although most will say that the rotation is within tolerances, it is amazing that all of them are rotated the same.

 

NICK,
THAT IS COOL, WHAT ARE THE ODDS OF THEM ALL BEING LIKE THAT :thumb:

 

Thanks guys. These are the best of my collection so far and am very happy for now. Enjoy them while I can I guess.

 

Here's another view. Just keep in mind PCGS didn't give these a rotated die grade, but you can easily tell when you look at them. I've looked at a bunch of these on Ebay, and I don't see any with the same rotation on the reverse.

 

Does anyone know how many 2006-W unc. were minted?

 

Nick:
On another posting someone stated that they needed at least 20 degrees of rotation inorder to label as a rotated die.
I am not good at estimating degree of rotation. Anyone out there who can tell the degree?

 

Nick-
That is really cool. Looks right about 20 degrees maybe a bit shy. I checked mine out and mine are rotated about 5-8 degrees clockwise (about 1 o'clock) where yours in counter clockwise about 20 degrees.

I believe it is rotated about 25 degrees....but of course, I just copied the picture into paint and used a picture of a protractor from the web....so...I might be a bit off....=p Here's how I did it in Paint....Oh, and I didn't compensate for any rotation there might be of the actual placement of the coin in the capsule....so that could throw it off...

 

Flyers:
All rotations are measured from the clock wise position, therefore his rotation is about 335 degrees (360 - 25 degrees = 335). Also, thanks I missed the direction of rotation until you mention it.

 

In this case I think the correct answer is 155 degrees. The intended orienttion is "upside down", so measured in a clockwise direction, that's how far the image is actually displaced from where it should be.

On the other hand, IMHO to us non-engineer types, "25 degrees left" conveys the message more clearly than "155 degrees" or "335 degrees".

 

Huh? You lost me. Why turn the coin upside down?

 

Thanks Frank. I wasn't aware of that. Learning something new everyday on this board. Have a good day.

 

Roy:
To establish coin orientation, vs medal orientation.

 

Right, so the reverse of the coin in the slab should look upside down, which it does except that the rotation is off about -25 degrees in the normal direction (clockwise). Am I misssing something here? from any point in measuring, it is still off by about -25 degrees, if measuring from the bottom or the top (thats the magic of angles). Hence this coin is off by 335 degrees, not by 25 degrees regardless if your measuring it upside down or rightside up.

If the coin had a medal orientation it would be off a clean 180 degrees.

Yes you are correct:
"Flyers:

Wow. I started a whole discussion over my picture...lol...

 

So bottom line. How come Nicks coin is not considered a rotated die over 20 degrees?
