    I know that a coin has to be Rotated clockwise or to the right about 25% to be anything. What about a coin that is Rotated Counter-Clockwise or a little bit to the left? 1981 Dime Roated Reverve#.jpg 1981 Dime Rotation Obverse.jpg When I line the plastic case up with the edge of the desk the date and In God We trust run straight across. When I flip it and line it up the same way EPLURIBUS UNUM runs it at an angle.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    It's more likely a rotated obverse.

    Seriously, though, it's not rotated enough to have any premium.
    A rotation of less than 15 degrees is within mint tolerances.

    The direction of rotation, clockwise or counterclockwise, makes no difference as to what the value of the coin might be.

    If you really look, most coins are not lined up perfectly and have a small rotation one way or the other. The last one I found and kept was a wheat cent I found going through some old bags of them I had around at 25 degrees, it probably isn't worth much, but they are pretty cool and pretty cool to look at. I seem to be starting a small rotated die collection :).
