Jefferson nickel rotated die

Hi,
This nickel has a slightly rotated die. Is this something that carries any premium?

Thanks,
Terry

    Something substantial, like 90 degrees plus. Have 1 and me thinks it's a 1962. Slightly rotated dies don't have much vzlue. I don't believe my coin cost me much either.

    The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

    I agree with Leo.

    I have many at the 30 - 45 degree rotation and a few at the 90+. I'd love to find a 180... now that would be cool.

    I believe that anything within 20 degrees is considered mint tolerance and as such, no premium.

    You're right Becky, 15-20 degrees is considered within mint tolerances. If you want to see the going prices of rotated pieces, go to eBay "errors" US coins.
