Is a rotated reverse on a $1 Gold Princess worth a premium?

    Unless the rotation is egregious, they don’t command a premium AFAIK. I believe minor rotations are somewhat common on this series. I put it in the same category as a cool die crack—it adds character. Nice looking coin!

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Usually not unless it is 180 degrees.

    OK, I have to believe anyone with a Gold Princess as his avatar knows the series.

    Thanks for both replies,,,,,, they agree.

    If it were rotated 360 degrees, would it be worth twice as much? ;)

    I have rolls and rolls of coins that are rotated 360 degrees. Make me an offer. ;)

    I'm surprised the minor rotations don't sell at a discount since they don't display well. They look like the coin has rotated in the holder.

    All glory is fleeting.

    Looks like it’s well within mint tolerance of 27°

    Thanks Fred,,,,,,, Is 27 degrees the tolerance on current coins as well?

    It was the last time I visited the mint over 10 years ago but I assume it still is

    Most of these are usually put in the holders crooked (when viewed from the front) making the reverse look rotated. It’s of my opinion the correct orientation is to have the first and last letters of the words be level, not the bust. If you do that, the reverse levels out.

    That could be,,,,,,,, with no date on the front it is hard to line up visually.

    This is how I believe the obverse should be oriented. If you rotated it to this the reverse would straighten up a lot.

    I see what you are saying,,,,,, I never knew that. :)
