Enough rotation to resubmit?

Or is it within Mint tolerance and no big deal?

Within tolerance, no premium.

It's within Mint tolerance;
don't spend the money
for an error submission
to either PCGS or NGC;
you won't get the RR
designation........

Thanks Fred and Paul. So what is the tolerance? Is this reverse rotated about 10° CW?

messydesk · September 5, 2012 3:44AM

Usually, the tolerance is considered 15°. This coin looks like 12°. Even if this were over 30°, however, I doubt it would bring a premium until you hit 90°.

nice grade but id leave it alone just as is.

I would not consider sending in anything rotated less then 90 degrees, the collector interest and value increase is minimal at best.

CaptHenway · September 5, 2012 6:43AM

Tolerance is 15 degrees.

IMHO, significant starts at 45 degrees.

I sure don't think that small rotation should bring a premium.

can't anyone just see it's rotated anyhow?

Very interesting to see all the different perspectives on RR and varying degrees thresholds. I have a number of coins which I didn't even realize were RR until the slabs came home, and it became more clear they were 10 or 15° off ... I feel like this is more common then most collectors realize ... I estimate I have an equal amount of coins with 10° RR then I do perfectly aligned.

My opinion is to leave it alone. You've got a gorgeous coin, with great luster IMO, and as lcoopie stated anyone can see the RR thanks to your slab which makes it extremely obvious due to the nature of a large rectangle with perfect right angles.

No offense, but it's kind of a negative to me on a modern. It's rotated enough to be annoying, but not enough to be cool.

morgansforever · September 6, 2012 4:47AM

45° CW would look really cool IMO. The MM would be at 9 o'clock.

At some level it is still fascinating that even in 2005 the minting process is not so robotic that you still see unintended rotation.

I agree. I bought it in 05, thought it was unique, think I paid $40 for it slabbed at a small shop.
Still have my box of 10 MC comeems unopened from the Mint.
