[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3014604, member: 90692"]From Numismaster.com, under "News and Articles", is an article titled "Rotated Reverse Confuses Collectors". It is submitted by Alan Herbert from July 11, 2011, and was originally published in [I]Coins Magazine.[/I] In the article, Herbert states the mint tolerance for rotation is [B]7 degrees.[/B] So there, presuming the info is correct, we can say that 8 degrees is a minor difference and worth a minor premium. Correspondingly, the maximum rotation is 180 degrees and is considered a "clockwise" rotation. Using this rule, that would mean the maximum "counter-clockwise" rotation could only reach 179 degrees...and, of course the premium escalates with the degree of rotation. I don't have any examples of degree rotation to premiums. Collectors would have to do their own due diligence and research to find how much a certain rotation variety sold for, along with the usual grading parameters, including differences of denomination.
