1886-O Morgan Rotated Dies

Wabbit2313

Hi. I really have not spent any time learning about rotated dies. What can you tell me? I bought the coin for the rare date not even considering the dies.

Thanks!

One of the dies turned in the minting process. Not uncommon on Morgans. Some VAMs are known for this, such as the 1878-CC VAM 22.

Besides being a key date, the rotated die wont bring a premium until it is over 60 degrees. Some rotated dies are up to 180 degrees.

Either way, it is a good coin.

Most of my Morgan's have a perfect 360 degree rotation.

86-o seems to be one that is not that uncommon. They are cool. I've never owned a nice example and
hope to some day. Your's is cool.

Typically these are VAM-11 on 1886-O.

Yours appears to be the pre-clash stage though.

Nice Coin…The only downfall about a semi-key Morgan that is also a Mint Error is that it cannot be used in the Set Registry

Really? So can you ask them to not mark it mint error?

Nearly all of the Morgans that are seen with meaningful rotations (30 degrees is OK, but not huge) are O mints. The bigger they are, the more premium they bring.
