Could someone please explain what this "Rotated Die" means for the 1967 1 cent Canadian coin, or any coin for that matter. Thank you.

    here is a definition of ROTATED DIE: Dies are positioned and locked on a coining press by means of a key. When these keys come loose, rotation can occur resulting in the next coin being struck with the obverse and reverse dies rotated. Coins struck from rotated dies are errors.


    Rotated dies with less than 15 degrees are usually very common.

    Here is a 130 degree rotated 1c.

    Is it possible for you to post the rotated die 1967 1c?
