Rotated dies seldom bring much of a premium.

 

Craigslist is not well respected for coin listings. Probably better if you post the coin here where members can examine it directly.

You are grossly mistaken.

Significantly rotated dies on Morgan and Peace Dollars almost always bring premiums.

 

Here is an 1883-O rotated dies in AU-50 (details and cleaned) which sold recently on eBay for $64, about three times as much as an ordinary 1883-O in that same condition would go for (and this one only has a 45-degree CCW rotation - more rotation would be worth more):

Here is a common 1923 Peace Dollar in AU (normally worth about $18) that sold for $177 with a 60-degree CW rotation:

1923 Peace Silver Dollar <> Rotated Reverse

 

Other series can have fairly large premiums as well (more so on modern issues).

 

Here is an ordinary 2000-P Sacagawea dollar that would normally be worth just $1, but sold for $150 due to the 45-dgree CCW rotation:

2000-P Sacagawea 45 Degree Rotated Reverse PCGS MS-66

 

A rare 1989-D Congress commemorative silver dollar with 180-degree (medal-turn) alignment is easily worth $2,000 compared to a normal one worth $20.

This error is also mentioned (but not priced) in the Red Book guide.

 

Those are just a few examples.

I think rotation is really only recognized when it hits 15 degrees. Than they CAN be collectible and start bring a little more than regular prices. The more extreme the rotation, the more they can bring a premium.

Happy Birthday Bobby. Hope you have had a great day.

Correct. 45° is where the premiums generally start and at 90°-180° they can get stupid

Thanks Irvin!!!

Your coin would not qualify for a "rotated dies" label at NGC. The obverse is very slightly rotated in the holder (second 8 is in center). That would reduce the rotation a small amount. I think you are under the 15 degree minimum needed for the designation. Just my opinion..

"Rotated dies seldom bring much of a premium."

 

There are rare exceptions. -- unless one is making fakes in the basement or behind the restaurant in Tianjin.

Rotated dies bring a premium when I'm buying them.

 

I mainly collect rotated die errors, ever since I got a 1904O dollar with a 60degree rotation, I've been hooked. But it certainly has to be over 45 degrees for any kind of premium.

Every see a Lowball? (technically)

 

I get how hard it is for even seasoned collectors to notice rotations but come on, to never be caught down to a lowball I think is very cool

Haven't seen one worn that well. My 1904-O NGC graded VG10, I think it's a F15, but am just happy to have it holdered and protected. There are some MS examples on Ebay, but they are priced well above any reasonable premium.
