Rotated Die Proof Nickel

Would a 1968-S PR68 Jefferson Nickel command a premium if the rotation was at 22.5 CCW? The coin has no CAM or DCAM.


This is the only reference I have and it does not say what is good and what is not. http://www.rotateddies.com/

Ok, I found some info. It answers my question somewhat, but gives me an idea. This link is mainly for Morgans but it will do.

Premium Factors

Rotations of zero to 14.9 degrees generally are considered within normal tolerances of the equipment, so the customary thinking is that Rotated Dies must be rotated at least 15 degrees to have any significance or premium. But other collectors view 20 degrees of rotation as a minimum threshold, so 20 degrees is a safe bet when acquiring Rotated Die specimens. It should also be mentioned that some specialists raise the bar even further, and only collect specimens with 90 degree to 270 degree rotations! These tend to be collectors of coin series other than U.S. silver dollars, where such radical Rotated Dies are more often found.
