By Victoria Stone Moledor Durring 1999, the general press, including local and national news, radio stations and newspapers, released some inaccurate information about some 50 State quarter error coins known as Rotated Die Errors .
Many reports describe the coins as misstamped, turned, upside down, inverted and so on.
Take the test Before you go on, first make certain that you indeed do have one of the rotated die errors. Please follow along with the photographs on this page that demonstrate the test. Using your other hand, flip the coin end over end. Do not release the coin from your left hand . Once you have turned the coin all the way around and you are fully viewing the reverse of the coin, the reverse should be right side up and read normally from left to right.
