[QUOTE="drbrummer, post: 3460025, member: 76441"]Here is my take on the rotation idea...it depends! Basically the thing that affects a rotation premium is whether or not there are dedicated variety collectors seeking out rotated examples. Knowing how popular vamming has become, I would hazard a guess that it will be much easier to get a premium for the morgan versus the buffalo. I can tell you that in my preferred series (seated dimes) there are some dimes that are downright common with rotation (1837, 1839) and others that command a significant premium if found rotated. When looking at coins in general, I believe DEMAND has a much stronger correlation to prices than SUPPLY. This is why something like a 1916d dime in G4 will command more than an 1858o dime in high AU. In all reality, the two coins share very similar mintages and there is likely higher survival rate for the 16d but everyone wants the mercury key date. Did you buy the coins knowing they were rotated, John? Otherwise, it's always a nice surprise when a coin shows up this way. Good luck finding a buyer on each, I think they're cool![/QUOTE]
