<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 280859, member: 4373&quot;]I was doing a check of the Japanese copper coins that I had and found something very interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>In general most of the die rotation of Japanese coins were this: </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/930961.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>which means that it is usually orientated to the dot at the top. </p><p><br /></p><p>Occasionally there are some that are orientated to the bottom two dots at the bottom, which is about 5 degrees rotation:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/930962.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Note that these coins were all minted in coin orientation, i.e. up and down when you flip the coin sideways. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now this is the largest error of all:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.omnicoin.com/coins/930963.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Only seen in numismatic literature, Japanese error coins are exceedingly RARE if you don&#039;t believe in me! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>And to think that I was about to sell the whole lot as scrap copper coins does shudder me for a bit. :hammer:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
