    Error Rotated Die | 1994-P rotated die

    Found this one in a bank bag. The black mark on the obv. and rev. are back to back on the flip.

      He doesn't bother with anything below 45% though. To each his/her own.

      That's because he knows where the money is for rotated coins.

        Aw gee, a rotated die is fine with me at any percent. Besides, it is a nice looking coin!

          I have always understood from my readings that the Mint considers 7% is within tolerance but I won't argue with Fred W. on errors.

          I have to agree with Jean it is still rotated and a good lookin coin. Besides that I can't seem to find any except for a proof coin I have from the 60's. Nice find .

            Lestrrr: Somehow I got on the wrong thread and edited yours instead of responding to it. Sorry about that. My response is below yours. I cut part of your response off about the 24% rotation from Fred Weinberg.

            Please go back to your edit and add your complete comment back in to the thread. Sorry!

              the coin is rotated allmost 180 deg. Look at black marks I made on the flip. If you put a needle thru the obv. mark it would go thru the rev. mark. I should have fliped the rev. pic around

                1994 is well known for 165 CW and 165 CCW rotations- that's probably what you have. Nice find!

                  I agree. As soon as I saw this post I thought 165 degrees. If you search around you will see a lot of old posts about 1994 cents rotated 165 degrees. I have one.

                    15%, 24%, Fred Weinberg, 45% (Cliff notes of response)

                      Idon't agree that it is a 165* ccw. Have mine in front of me and cannot match the photo. Looks to be about 15-18* ccw. Nice cent and good eye but pretty close to being common.

                        I'm not sure what your matching it up to but it is rotated allmost 180 deg.

                          Here's what I got. First picture is normal
                          Second picture just flipped over side to side.
                          Third picture flipped 180*

                            I had the feeling there was going to be alot of confustion when I posted this coin.
                            Here are 2 pics with the coin fliped 180 deg. Hope this helps.

                              I also checked the r0tated coin die census site and no coin listed is over 180*. Yes, I know it hasn't been updated for months but I don't believe there is a coin rotated 195* CW listed anywhere. Also there is no standard for expressing rotation in degrees but I think the Census is a good place to start.
