I've been catalog and some off markets Labs that I purchased for an extremely low price, for the lot I just found this millennium Coin certification service slide with a Jefferson nickel from 1984 and it has a between 5 and 10% hub rotation... It is surprising what you can find when you look... Unfortunately the hub rotation isn't marked in the label but it's still a cool error to find
I think you mean Die Rotation. The hub is not what is used to strike a coin.. a Die is what is used. Definition - A hub is a positive, or relief (raised) image of the coin's design that has been impressed into a steel shaft during the process of creating the tools that are required for making coins. The original coin image is actually a plaster sculpture about 8 to 12 inches in diameter, from which a Master Hub is created using a special process that reduces the image to the actual size of the coin. This Master Hub, which bears a relief image of the coin design, is then copied on to a number of Master Dies (which bear the negative, incuse or sunken image of the coin).
hey thanks for the correction no problem I understand it's a die rotation not a hub rotation I didn't know that the 5% shift - 10% shift was in mint tolerances I thought the coins were supposed to be perfect or at least damn near close to perfect every single time
