cents, I see you do not flatten the staples down flat. It would be a good idea, to prevent danage to a coin. This may not be too much a risk, in that you use two, on the sides, while I use one on the bottom. Could be a difference. Is the amount of rotation as indicated from the rev view?

Dick,
The obverse is normal...I was wondering what the value on a die like this is?.

The degree of rotation on this one is pretty minor, but it is a rotated die none the less. There are folks out there who collect these, so it would be a supply and demand type issue. Had the die been rotated about 90 - 180 degrees, it would be worth quite a bit, but as far as putting a price on it, it is hard to say. Here is a link to some rotated dies on EBay currently. You might be able to get an idea from the prices on some of these. I would also suggest Googling 'Rotated Dies' and you can see more info ion them there.

Nice find. I've got a 71D with about the same degree of rotation, just rotated the other way. I tried to sell mine on ebay there were no takers. I guess I'll just keep it since nobody else wanted it Laughing .
