    I do alot of roll diving as I see alot of people do here. My latest interesting find was a buffalo nickel with a rotation of at least 15% The reverse is worn, but details are still visable, the obverse is so worn that the date isnt visable at all. But it clearly has a 15-20% rotation.

    Id like to hear other opinions on this old guy.

    A rotation of 15 degress is no tthat much ,in order for a coin to be a major rotation it has to be 90 degress CW or CCW. What you also have to take in cosideration is the type of coin it is.The buffalo nickle you have especially that it's worn down , and the type I don;t think there is any premium on the coin, but it's cool to keep, if your into that type of error,

    I have a 1916 double date (mechanical doubling, not the expensive one) with a 15 degree or so rotated reverse. It also has those weird stripes you see on buffalos, now and then. :D I'd have to agree with Jazz that it takes a hefty rotation to really be worth anything more than regular value but with mine, it adds to the striking error so I think it's worth a little more because of it, even if no one else does. ;)

    The no date kills any premium. Nice find and I'd hold onto it though.
