    Error Rotated Die | 1984 Enough rotation to be a keeper?

    I only have my phone to work with this weekend, so I don't have a program to measure the rotation. Is this one good enough to keep? The two pics should be very close to the same size, and the orientation should be very close also. I just wish I could put both on one post where it would be easier to view. Just guessing, it has to be over 15 degrees. I think closer to 20 degrees, but it's hard to judge angles on such a small object, to me anyway. Thanks all for taking the time to look at this for me!

        Very much! Thank you Vivian! As much as I love the pics this iPhone take, it's a major pain that the file names are all exactly the same. They just overwrite each other. Thanks again!

          I would say it's a keeper if that's the most rotated one you've found. But it's only at ~20º, so I don't think you'd get much if any premium on the 'bay. I've heard over 30º starts to net some premium.

          Nice side-by-sidee comparison, Vivien.

            I am not sure what any minimum rotation percentages for keepers would be but this link may help a bit... http://www.coins.nd.edu/ColCoin/ColC...s.html#Reverse Die Rotation

              You are welcome

              btw the following link did not work for me - If you are interested in figuring out how much your coin is rotated, you can build a "Coin Degree Finder" by clicking here.

                Got it in my program and it looks like only 14 degrees. Man I thought it was more than that. It's a tie with my best ever. Oh well.
