Input Needed - 1924-D Wheatie Obverse and Reverse a Few Degrees Misaligned

harbon

I was examing a fairly nice 1924-D Wheatie I had. Since its not quite as common as other wheaties, I was looking at it pretty closely to see if I could get an idea on its condition. Because I was giving it such a close exam, I noticed that the reverse and obverse were about 5-10 degrees misaligned with each other.

I checked some of my other wheaties from other years but didn't see any noticable misalignments. Are slight misalignments such as these common on wheaties/1924d's/all coins or does this increase its value a bit?

Thanks for the input as usual!

I would say common, and 5 to 10 degrees is not enough to merit a premium.

Denver never could align their dies correctly! It is really common, esp on 24-d (My 24-d is more like 30 degrees off, my old 11-d was like 70 degrees off). What seems rare is early Denver coins with perfectly aligned dies!
