What do you suppose a Deleware -D graded AU 58 with the reverse rotated some 225 degrees be worth on the open market?

That's some pretty significant die rotation! Your thoughts please! Thank you.image

There is a link to the coin further down below!image

    225 degrees? I guess that sounds more impressive than 135 degreesimage

    I can tell that your AU-58 220 Degree Rotated Reverse.
    Deleware is NOT a PCGS coin -

    FYI - anything over 180 degrees rotated is actually a
    Counter-Clockwise Rotated Revese. At least, that's
    the way I've always labeled such items, including for
    PCGS.

    A 220 Rotated Reverse, to me at least, is actually
    a 40 degree Counter-Clockwise Rotation............

    My opinion only.........

    Hello Fred, Just a typo - I know. I had already deduced this just by looking at the coin. In all actuallity although the slab reads as it does (and YES, you are correct sir, it is NOT a PCGS slab) The coin is obviously rotated only about 65 degrees clockwise. Even the grading service made a boo - boo, a "Faux pas"... a TYPO. Anyone with minimal mathematical skills can see that the coin is rotated no more than 45-65 degrees clockwise! Thanks for your input.
    OK.. let's go with an AU 58 rotated clockwise 45 degrees. What is an error like this worth?

    I have a PCGS MS-64, 90 degree CCW rotated reverse,
    that I would sell for $200, if that helps.............

    Warren,

    Cool error coin. I collect error coins myself and am always glad to see when Fred Weinberg posts messages here.

    Is your coin for sale?
  • BoomBoom Posts: 10,165 ✭
    When it comes to errors, Fred is THE man in my book. Good to know he's watching!

    Sorry, had I not doubled back I would have never seen your question. No, it's not mine.

    No knowledge on value but I do recall a lot of publicity early in the state quarter program when those rotated reverse DE-Ds were discovered.
