<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 439755, member: 1242"]Rotated Dies are actually more common than most people realize and the Mints would ever admit! To be technical, whether a coin has a rotation of even a 1/2 of a degree or 180 degrees, then it is considered to have been produced with a rotated Die. If you were to check every coin in say a $50 bag of Lincoln Cents, you would probably find that at least 50% or more of them have some amount of Die Rotation but that number may be much higher for specific years and other denominations. Some types and Series of coinage are also known to be plagued with Rotated Dies and these bring less of a premium than another type and series that has very few known Rotated Dies. Also, many Collectors don't even take notice of a Die Rotation on a coin unless it is at least 90 degrees, others 140 degrees or more but at the same time, some jump at anything over 10 degrees.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
