CANADA 1941 50c with Die Rotation

CollectorBob

I discovered I have this CANADA 50c piece in VF+ (maybe XF) which has a 10-15 deg. Die Rotation.

Gene, other Canadian Coin experts: is this a common error? What do you think the premium would be?

Will post pics if needed. Thanks!

10-15° die rotation has almost no premium in my experience. The big money is the 45° + 90° rotations.

Thanks Gene. I was checking here and did not see a mention of the 1941 50c piece. I'm pretty sure the coin I have is precisely at 15 degrees counter clockwise.

Interesting site. They even state that less than 15° is not listed.

I believe most collectors would miss a rotation error of 15° or less. Especially on small coins. Here's a test:

Take a 1c or 10c piece. Hold between thumb and forefinger at the 12 and 6 o'clock position. Turn the coin to look at the reverse. Now turn again in same direction to look at the obverse. Did it come back exactly at 12 and 6?

Just found a 2nd one: 1943 50c but this one has the die rotation 15 degrees clockwise!
