    Error Rotated Die | 1982 P rotated die...about 45 degrees CCW?

    Don't get too excited...it's one ugly coin! (I have to admit I was still super excited to find it). I don't think it's fake; I have found a 2007 with an old wide am reverse that had been put together, and this one seems pretty seamless. (I dissected that 2007 and found half of a dime in it). Anyways, Eyeballing the thing looks to be about 45 degrees CCW. Maybe more, maybe less. For those wondering, I weighed it, and it comes in at 3 grams. I also got some closer pictures of the edges on the front and back, as that was the giveaway on the '07!

    Cool find. 3 grams I would have thought different from the pictures, looks like some zinc rot there.

              With the early 1982 copper weighting 3.11 grams and the later zinc plated with copper weighting 2.5 which one is yours? I thought I saw zinc rot but with the weight of yours its probably the earlier cent.
