Pics? And how much silver did you sell. Both factors before anyone can tell you. Welcome to Cointalk by the way.
yeah, members here need to see some pics and know other important information so we can help you figure it out.. :yes::welcome:
The coin itself no rotation is something like $26 bid and sell around $30-50 retail ask give or take a buck or two on both bid and retail ask. There is no hard and fast price guide for rotation. It must be more than I think 7 degrees rotation (can be clockwise or counter clockwise) to be considered a rotated die. Most popular are 45, 90 and 180 degree. Modern low grade examples are $1-3 dollars higher grade $10-20 depending on how many are around. Early coins are actually rampade with rotated dies as there was not really any quality control standards other than make it (as correct as possible) and ship it. The median or average example (as it's what a person is willing to pay in premium)would be a full 180 rotation in that date period (usual census is about at least 20-50 known examples per date) approximate value is coin price +50% premium with less rotation or buyer interest it's worth less that 50% premium. That's the best you can go on without giving rotation details or exact census details for that coin and date.
