Rotated Reverse Mint Error Morgan and Peace Dollars

9 posts in this topic

I'm clearing out some of my collections to make room for new coins and to finish some sets. I have a few mint error coins that I would like to sell, but I'm not trying to sell them on this thread. I'm just trying to get an idea of what I can expect to get out of them, or if I should just hang on to them for a while. I'm not a mint error collector, so I don't really know how I should price these. I know these are common date/mintmark coins but are these kinds of rotations and degree of rotations rare, or not so much? Any help from the serious error collectors out there is greatly appreciated.

While I would not call dramatically rotated die coins overly common, they also aren't uncommon especially for 19th century and early 20th century issues. I don't see there being any premium in most instances. This would include the coins that you have posted.

Those appear to be rotated 30-45 degrees. This usually isn't a great amount, so it would be hard to guess what some of the bidiots on FleaBay would be willing to pay.

Rotations that minor receive little premium (or at least, they should receive little premium). They are fairly common.

 

Once the rotation gets to be above 90 degrees, they are worth more of a premium. The best, and the rarest, are the 180 degree rotations.

The most common are 360° errors.

Except on 1807 S-276 draped bust large cents or 1864 two cent pieces which are commonly found with 180 degree rotations.

The '23 just sold for $308.75 on Ebay. Started the auction off at $35. Originally paid $150 for the coin. Pretty good profit margin there. I dont juice up my listings or make false claims. I just let the coins speak for themselves!

Congratulations; I'm pleasantly surprised. Usually these don't garner much of a premium with minor rotation. I'm glad it worked out for you. (thumbs u

The other's sold, but didnt do as well as the '23! But I am still haply with the results. It'll help me further my collection of Morgan's. And should also help fund the costs for research books and other research materials.
