It can occur when the die is not properly inserted into the press, or if the die becomes loose and begins to turn as it is used. Coins struck from rotated dies might be worth a premium, depending on the degree of the rotation. When the images on either side of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coin_orientation\">coin are aligned<\/a> in the same direction, it is called <a href=\"https:\/\/coinsite.com\/orientation-of-u-s-coins\/\">medallic orientation<\/a>, or medal alignment. The images will appear right-side-up if you flip the coin to horizontally to the left or right. If the images are aligned in the opposite direction, it is called coin orientation or coin alignment. The images will appear right-side-up if you flip the coin vertically to the top or bottom.<\/p>\n<p>Attributions of rotated dies are being spearheaded by David Poliquin. For attribution of these varieties, please send coins to Mr. Poliquin. Dies attributed by David will be cross-referenced on this website. However, I&#8217;ve ceased to list rotated dies in our index.<\/p>\n<p>David&#8217;s site can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indiancentvarieties.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.indiancentvarieties.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;During the course of cent production, obverse and reverse dies may rotate with respect to each other. This rotation may be observed when turning a coin over and noticing the reverse rotated either clockwise or counter clockwise in relation to the obverse. While writing this reference, I will indicate die rotations of 5 degrees or greater in the description of die pairs. However, die rotations of 20 degrees and greater will be listed in this index. The degree of die rotation and the rarity are factors in determining the premium for coins with degrees of rotation greater than 35 degrees.&#8221; &#8211; <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/indiancentvarieties.com\/rotated_die_index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Poliquin<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-2 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-div\"><div class=\"title-heading-left title-heading-tag\" style=\"margin:0;\"><h2 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"18\" data-lineheight=\"23.94px\"><strong>Additional Resources on Rotated Dies<\/strong><\/h2><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><a href=\"http:\/\/rotateddies.50webs.com\/meas.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to measure a rotated die<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.error-ref.com\/rotated_die_error\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Error-Ref Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rotateddies.50webs.com\/census.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Census of Rotated Dies across all series<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lincolncentresource.com\/Errors\/RotatedDies.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lincoln Cent Resource article<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8181,"parent":23,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Rotated Dies - Flying Eagle and Indian Cents<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Rotated dies occur when the die becomes loose in the press, or when a die is installed with an incorrect alignment.
