<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1698817, member: 112&quot;]He&#039;s talking about a mistake being made when the coin is struck, a rotation error. </p><p><br /></p><p>A rotation occurs error when the obv and rev dies are not aligned correctly in the coin press. For example, with US coins 12 o&#039;clock on the obv should always align with 6 o&#039;clock on the rev. But if say 12 aligns with 3, or 9, or any other number but 6, then that is a rotation error. 12 aligning with 12, would be a rotation error of 180 degrees.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now rotation errors of 15 degrees or less are fairly common and generally not worth mentioning. But if a coin has a rotation error of say 30 degrees or more, then that attracts the attention of error collectors. And sometimes it can add a small premium to the value of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
