[QUOTE="jody526, post: 173303, member: 578"]Hi, and welcome to the forum. :hail: I've found that many older coins, such as Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents, Two Cent pieces, Shield and Liberty Head nickels, and Barber coins, often were struck with slightly rotated dies. I also understand that earlier types were even more commonly struck this way. I believe I recall that there was a tolerance level of something like 10%, although someone may have the exact figure available for you. Seems that coins with severe die rotation, of say 90% or more, are very collectible, and highly sought after. There's an old website you may be interested in checking out when you have time. You can see it by clicking the link below. [URL]http://www.rotateddies.com/census.htm[/URL][/QUOTE]
