2020-P Jefferson Nickel -- Rotated Die found CRH
Rotated DiePosted by NumisdexDealer· 0 replies



Pulled this from a roll of nickels. The reverse is rotated roughly 30-45 degrees counter-clockwise. You can see the tilt clearly in the collage photo -- Monticello leans compared to normal coin turn alignment. Rotated dies happen when the die gets installed at the wrong angle in the press, the alignment key wears out, or the operator doesn't seat it correctly. Every coin struck from that die has the exact same rotation. 30-45 degrees is a pretty solid rotation for a modern coin. Anyone else finding rotated dies in modern nickels?
