<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robbudo, post: 1052770, member: 19243&quot;]As a serious collector of rotated coins (on cents, anyway), this coin is rotated 45 degrees if the pic was taken with the coin flipped heads over tails (typically the way it is done) If it was rotated side to side (not normally done, but you&#039;d be surprised how many people screw this up), then it would be rotated 135 degrees and worth a premium.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>How many 3-cent nickel&#039;s from 1865 were minted with a significant rotation (defined as greater than 90 degrees) you ask?&nbsp; The rotated die census estimates this number to be between 81 and 200 coins, and this seems to be the case for most years in this series.&nbsp; Wow! you say, only 80 of these coins were made in 1865 with a rotation of more than 90 degrees, they must be worth a fortune!&nbsp; Not really - because there aren&#039;t many collectors of them.&nbsp; You can easily get them for $40 in lower grades when they come on the market.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, nice coin, you got yourself a good deal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
