UNITED STATES COINS WITH |
MAJOR DIE ROTATION OF |
90-180 DEGREES |
This is the first attempt to put rarity ratings on rotated die coins,so as with all series in the past as time goes by some of the ratings will be adjusted down as new coins are reported. I have compiled these ratings using the first two books showing coins known to exist with rotated dies as well as 18 years experience looking for rotated die coins in price lists and auction catalogs for my personal collection. I have also been receiving a lot of reports from other collectors with their rotated die coins for this census. The ratings listed below include all coins rotated 90 - 180 degrees for that date NOT each individual degree of rotation. Coins are listed as clockwise or counter clockwise, no designation means direction of rotation is unknown. If you have any coins with dies rotated 90 - 180 degrees or know of someone who does please encourage them to report them to me so I may add them to the census so it will be as complete as possible.RotatedDies@hotmail.com
