    2008 P nickel rotated

    This One has good rotation. I don't know what the premium command may be.

    First question. Did you flip it top to bottom or side to side?

        Always flip bottom to top or top to bottom. That's how US coins are oriented. Appears to be about 45° rotated. Premium honestly depends on what someone is willing to pay for it.

          I originally had it flipped from top to bottom. It looked the same, just facing upward to the right. These were the original pictures I had taken.

            Thanks for the updated images. Nice rotation.
            The first set makes it appear rotated about 135 degrees (45 + 90) and upside down. The second set of images is about 45 degrees like Enamel said
            and right side up.

              I flipped it top to bottom in the first photos.

                Top to bottom. Try it with a regular coin and you'll see the difference. It just orients the coin to what we are used to seeing. (You have really been finding some nice coins and images are well done.)

                  As far as I know all U.S. coinage is north to south. I have noticed some foreign coinage is east to west (as I think Canadian coins are).

                      Nice find... Excellent images also... Like the others said it looks to be 45 degrees... Have you searched ebay for sales of rotated dies??? That should give you an idea of the premium... Unless it is the case your coin appears to have circ wear???

                        It does have circulation wear. I couldn't find anything online anywhere about a premium for this.

                          It looked like it had wear but I wasn't sure... If you are selling put it out for $4 to see what happens!!!

                            Ok. Thank you. I am not sure what I want to do with it yet.

                              In the US, it's my understanding that coins are north to south and medals are east to west.
