Hi everyone. I was inspecting some of my coin collection and I came across this shield nickel. It's in pretty bad shape but if you hold it centered looking at the date and flip it over, the top of the 5 points to 11 o'clock instead of 12. I didn't know if this was enough to make it more collectible or not? Thanks everyone.

No, the rotation has to be more dramatic to add any value. Rotated dies are pretty common on older coinage.

Kinda figured as much. It was just enough for me to notice. Thanks for taking the time to comment. HH
