Rotated die Franklin?

Got this coin today.
Is this a rotated die?

Yes, but not enough to not be in tolerances. I think they have a tolerance of +/-10°

 

Worth an additional premium?

 

Not really, and might even hurt it since it is a proof and not super pronounced. Most people want their proofs to be perfect. You can always hype the rotation. You can find or make a template with the 360 degree marks (probably better in 5° increments), and lay the coin over it to get a true number on the amount of rotation. I know some Morgan Dollar VAMs are noted for the amount of rotation they have, which makes die clashes show up in different locations than usual.

 

How much would you have paid for that coin if the dealer didn't add a premium for the rotation?

 

$25.

 

Dude.....how did you know that was the price? You got it on the dot

 

Cool, but I agree with @TheFinn, no additional premium. Although IMO, I don't think it will influence the value

 

That date in that grade is a $25 coin now if it was a 50 you're talkin bucks

 

Time to try out my date alteration skills.....
