    Found this today. Felt like I won the lottery when I saw that Monticello was completely on its side! Do I send it off to be graded? Is it even worth it? Any advice?

    That's a pretty nice Rotation. More like 90 degree.
    The Obverse is not a Die Break. Looks incused. Some sort of Planchet anomaly. Need better pictures!

    Looks as though you have a winner there. Looks to be struck through foreign matter, I would guess a piece of metal from the size of it. If it grades well enough otherwise it would one that I would send in to be slabbed. Two nice errors on one coin. Edit as Chris is more than likely correct on what I previous said.

    Tommy, I agree that the anomaly on the obverse is probably a strikethrough, but I don't think the foreign matter could cause an accidental rotation of the die.

    A die rotating in the collar due to foreign debris on a planchet? And I'm not entirely sure that's a Strikethrough. Maybe but it looks more like a planchet issue. Nice coin though for what it is.

    I took a step back on the rotation issue. I still need to learn some more. Thanks.

    I found this nickel after breaking a five dollar bill at the convienence store. I have learned by watching coinfacts app. I guess this will be my introduction into third party grading services. The cashier is ground zero when cent searching.
