NEW DISCOVERY LIST 


The following is a list of new coins reported with die rotations of 90 - 180 degrees since LEROY VAN ALLEN released his book "ROTATED DIE COIN MEASUREMENTS" in 1991. Coins marked with a ~ were reported to Mr. Van Allen since his book was released and subsequently forwarded to me by him. Other coins are in my personal collection or were reported to me by other collectors for which I am greatful for all their help. I would also like to thank all those who have visited my site and gave me words of encouragement, it lets me know that someone appreciates my work and all the time I put into this web site. Again 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
