I'd say "x degrees (die) rotation". About 90° here ...

Rotated die. That's a pretty cool one.

 

I'm not sure what you are asking for, but rotated? A standard coin alignment will have the obverse and reverse flipped over while a metal alignment will be in the same direction anything else would be considered rotated and is described in degrees.

 

I say awesome find! A 2000, graded AU55 by ANACS sold on eBay for $189!

 

I'm just learning about error coins and I think I'm obsessed, My husband and I went to the bank yesterday to make a deposit, he was driving so he was at the speaker "the TUBE" and I begged him to ask the teller if she had any half dollars "she did" AND I bought them....This is one..... He still thinks I'm crazy!!!!!

 

nice rotated die error!

 

Nice find . 90' rotated as the others said .

 

By convention, it's called a rotated reverse. This is even the case when it is known (due to the stamping method) that the obverse was what rotated.

 

Can you place it so we can see the reflection in a mirror such as this picture

 

will do

 

like this

 

Looks like about 45 degrees rotation

 

Excellent! That's a nice rotation. Looks like a 240 degree. Keep it!

 

An easy way to check the degree of rotation is to put the coin in a 2x2 cardboard holder. Align the motto as close as you can with the straight edge of the holder then flip it in a coin turn.

 

the coin looks like a spy coin where one coin was cut to allow another to fit in the back ... I bet if you drop it ..it will give a hollow, thud sound
plus the reserve looks like a higher relief design compared to the 96 lower relief

google - spy coin if you want more info ...... snowman

 

Kinda looks like a magician's coin. Weigh it if possible.

 

Rotated die or Die rotation. Which ever floats your boat.

 

Ugh! One says 45⊙. Ones says 240⊙ω....
A very fine coin...what is the proper degree of rotation????
Measuring clockwise???
If it's up for sale let us know, know several people on here that would jump on it....

Keep up the hunt!!!

 

It's counterclockwise. I think I'm wrong the 240 degree guess. I think it should be measured with the reverse facing down then counterclockwise. It is a bit confusing! But we can see in the image that it is indeed a rotated rev. I don't think it's a spy or magicians coin but who knows! BonnieSue has the answer!
