Hello again Fellow CoinHunters. Need help on knowing how much of a rotation does a coin have to have to be considered a rotation error? So this is my 1943 P Steel Penny and it seems to have a rotation. I saw a video about rotation errors, so i started looking threw my binder of coins i have in 2x2 sleeves and real quickly noticed on the reverse that this coin had somewhat of a rotation it didn't line up like all the other pennies. So i'd love your help if you can answer this question...Thanks as always...and Happy Hunting
I don't think he asked what it's worth.. He just wants to know how much of a rotation would be considered enough to be worthwhile. I am quoting a comment by @Fred Weinberg from another thread.. Quote - "Actual US Mint tolerance is 27 degrees. They are not collectable unless there is a 45 degree rotation, minimum. That means when you flip over any US coin, the top of the reverse has to be pointing at either 1:30 or later, or if it's counterclockwise, the top has to be pointed at 10:30 or earlier."...

I'm still only about 2.5 mnths in2 coin collecting so this site is amazing when it comes 2needing help. Amazing people with alot of knowledge and experience in coin talk. Thanks 4ur comment and HappyHunting.
The sign's on the actual Presses, at the Phily Mint, 10 years ago, all said that a rotation up to 27 degrees was acceptable. I've never heard that 5 degrees was the tolerance limit for Rotated Reverses.
This is what I enjoy so much of this community we def all learn from each other. Thanks 2 everybody who sent a comment, all were appreciated and I def also learned sumthg 2day of rotation error Awesome
That would be normal. Just like all other struck US coins. Now if you mean the both sides face the same direction (medalic alignment) then you would have to show us. Take a picture of the Obverse and the Reverse side reflected into a mirror.
