  Rotated die error happens when one of the dies was being improperly installed. This type of error coin is the among the most challenging to be spotted because you need to flip over each coin in order to discover it. In fact, I did not search for rotated die error coins but fortunately I found this by luck.

   The highest degree of rotation should be 180 degree and this should be the most desired for this rotated die error coin. In my opinion, do not buy this type of coin in the market (unless they are too cheap) but find them yourself in your piggy banks! Surely the enjoyment is not the same as buying it.
