2000-P Sacagawea Dollar Rotated Die

OAKSTAROAKSTAR Posts: 6,378 ✭✭✭✭✭

I recently found this 2000-P Sacagawea Rotated Die. I handmade this 180° template/gauge (if it's correct), to see exactly what I had. It looks to be in the 157° range. Not sure how common it is in this modern series. I think it's a keeper.

    Nice coin. Looks to be about au 55 or 58 from the pictures. There were all sort of different degrees of rotation found on these 2000 P coins. Obviously the most valuable are the 180 degree ones. I’d say these are scarce, but come up for sale a couple times per year. Worth ~$75-$100 in current condition.

    What I'm supposed to be looking for rotated dies?
    I thought it was die breaks only.
    Dang I missed the memo.

    There are many things you should be looking for on these Sacagawea Dollars.

    I got a bunch of ORIGINAL BANK rolls from a delinquent safety deposit box auction.
    2000 sacs...
    I opened all but 2 rolls, pulled out 18 with a nice easy to spot die breaks and for the life of me I can't remember how I put them back into circulation.
    I didn't think the coin sorter machines were taking them and I've never used one.
    I would have taken them to the casino coin counter as I do the rest of the drops.
    I once took 4000 UNC Bicentennial Quarters :o
    I missed the memo on those too.
    I did an eBay search and didn't find anything or anyone buying them until 6 months after I dumped them.

    Coinstar machines take them. They don't take Ikes but they generally take small dollars.

    You have pictures of those die breaks?

    Rotated die coins gain a small premium when 90 to 180 degrees rotated with 180 being the best premium. Yours looks like 135 degrees so there's a premium. Probably a 50 to 100 dollar coin in thst condition.

    Thanks @gumby1234

    I think you're right about the 135°.
