Found 2nd example of 2015-D Nickel, 110 degree die rotation

I've now found 2 almost identical die rotation errors...2015-D nickel...see previous thread which contains photos of the first one.

I'm not seeing much news about this among my coin collecting sources (which are feeble except for this "coin talk" community). I find it hard to believe that I've personally found 2 of these already--such extreme die rotation errors--and yet I don't hear the numismatic community acknowledgement that there is a major error coin floating around out there for an ultra modern nickel.

Any news???

Here are the photos of the 2 coins I've found. I used a double staple at the 6 O'clock position of the mylars to show orientation upon reverse. You can see these two coins are nearly identical errors. I gotta think they ran off the US Mint production line during the same day, probably.

 

Very nice finds, Jeff! I saw one certified MS-64 with a 90 degree rotation going for $75 on eBay, FYI.

Nice finds! Fred Weinberg has five of them listed and graded by PCGS.

I see evidence that people are finding these and selling them for a serious premium at over $100.00 each. But my question is whether that is a passing "fad" versus what is the consensus for how many of these might have been produced?? Should I be capitalizing right now by selling at least one of my 2 error coins while the price is seemingly astronomical? Or...would it be foolish to sell now if after 10 or 20 years this coin is found to be worth far more? My instincts tell me the former is more likely to be true than the latter.

 

Nice.. I was not aware of this. Thanks for sharing

 

I live on the West Coast so I get tons of D-mint coins, better start looking for these.

 

I'm in a very focused habit/discipline of viewing each coin with a quick heads to tails flip....looking for the upside down reverse.

 

I don't think ten or twenty years will make a difference. Fred's prices are usually pretty accurate, even for the long haul. Now, if it is determined that several thousand were struck, it is more likely that prices will fall.
