Twisted Reverse Buffalo Nickles?

holadude

I have a couple buffs that seem to be twisted a bit when comparing the Obverse and Reverse positions. The one seems to be turned approx 45* from where it should be. The coins are average circulated, and offhand, I can't remember the dates, but is this a rarity? Would it be worth anything more than a normal one?

I have seen handfulls of rotated dies called climbing and diving buffalo nickels.

I am not sure of what if any premium.

No premium, in spite of what you see on ebay unless the rotation is extreme. This is a VERY common characteristic on Buffs. Die rotation for some dates is actually more common than properly aligned dies.

Cool. I took note of them years ago, and came across them recently and was wondering.
Thanks!
