Steve Kosinski Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I am looking for opinions on the bottom coin in the photos, should I have the bottom one re-graded as a Rotated Die. I was trolling E-bay when I found it, and I'm sure the seller didn't know what they had... A buy it now price below normal market value. I was happy to have stumbled on it when I did. I think that when these were originally unloaded to NGC in the quantities that were brought up from the ocean, NGC just tagged them and slabbed them as fast as they could. Small details are easy to miss when your mass slabbing. So, is it worth my time to re-grade? All opinions are appreciated. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 If Mr. Lange does not see this (and another member does not know the answer) you might PM him directly, or re-post in the "ask NGC" section. I think there is a minimum number of degrees that NGC requires the coin to be rotated before they will note it on the slab.

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted August 14, 2020 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted August 14, 2020 That one is off about 30 degrees, which is not too unusual for 19th Century coins. It would have to be off at least 90 degrees to be worth noting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_OldeTowne Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 As stated, that amount of die rotation isn't anything unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
