r/ErrorCoins

My dad passed away last year and left this to us. I believe it’s a 1980 dimes stamped as a 1981 penny.

I submitted this as a rotated die error attribution many months ago. PCGS took several months to return it. When I got it back I was astonished bc the holder did NOT mention the blatant rotated die error.

On PCGS’s own site they state that 20 degrees is the minimum threshold for rotated die errors. Also, whenever it’s convenient for them, they claim that ‘three people individually evaluate each and every coin during quality check’.

This error is so blatant that idk how 3 people could have possibly missed it, unless…3 people never actually looked at it!

Anyway, I had to hassle for a while to get them to fix it then wait another month or two to get it corrected and sent back to me.

Anyway, it’s finally here and I’m just glad persistence paid off 👍
