"How much is this error coin worth?"

JeffH · September 06, 2015, 05:55:53 PM

It is in rather good condition for a 14 year old, circulated coin.
So, better nick than our beloved forum leader's one but not as spectacular amount of rotation.
I am curious as to what the trade-off could be between those two factors. (Regardless, I am happy to have found it.)

Quote from: 'JeffH' pid='78906' dateline='1441524910'Well we have heard how much Mark's 2001 20¢ upset is worth. Anyone want to hazard a guess on the value of mine.
I went to my upsets tray today to check that toe 2010 50¢ I am about to list is not better than any i have kept and found this one I noodled some time back. I had completely forgotten about it (old age strikes again)!

This is a great coin JeffH I love it

Quote from: 'markn' pid='77985' dateline='1440113044'I just bought this one. I know what I paid but what do you lot think it's worth? No cheating if you already know.

Is yours rotated that way Mark as the two I have are rotated like Jeff's

Here's mine again

only scans not pic's sorry

markn · September 10, 2015, 11:14:31 AM

$100'ish each. Cool.

ausjack · September 10, 2015, 01:49:29 PM

I'm not selling mate, I asked if your was rotated the same as the pic you put up as both of mine and Jeff's are rotated the same way but yours look opposite.

Thread Title: "How much is this error coin worth?"

The rotation on mine is different to yours. I have no idea what you mean by rotated the same way?

ausjack · September 10, 2015, 06:41:40 PM

forget it

robbiegal · September 10, 2015, 08:31:23 PM

usually rotations are described as
Marks - 5.00 - 5.30 on the clock
AJ'S - About 9.15 on the clock
Jeff's - about 10.30 on the clock

yep - AJ I reckon Mark's is rotated almost completely opposite to Jeff's rotation
all are pretty groovy

Do collectors of rotated dies consider the amount of die movement as the main attraction, or is the actual positioning more important. Looking at the three examples you could say the coin at 5.30 has travelled further in a clockwise direction than the other two have in an anti clockwise direction. On the other hand the coin at 10.30 could be seen as travelling the furthest in a clockwise direction, but maybe the one at 9.30 is on it's second lap and by far has travelled the furthest :laugh2: :blush:
Sorry, this is a serious question, just couldn't help it as I'm still in frivolous mode after my recent retirement. :yahoo:

It'd be great if the owners of the other coins coin post pictures of the edges of their coins so we could see where the first A in Australia lined up with the reeding. That way we could see if the obverse or reverse die was the one that was rotating.

robbiegal · September 11, 2015, 07:43:57 AM

oh
I thought form the pics that it is the obverse rotating

I've done my pics that way simply because it always seems to be the obverse rotating on most Aussie rotated dies. The only way to be certain is to compare both sides of the coins with various rotations against a fixed point which is the reeding applied by the collar die. Assuming of course all the coins come from the same die pair.
