Comments: During the summer of 2007, Bill Mackrides located an 1858 dime with a reverse rotated left by 45 degrees and partial planchet error. After correspondence, Bill agreed to send the coin for inspection and inclusion into the web-book. I've chosen to list Bill's finding as F-108a based on obverse date punch placement though the F-108 die line at the bottom of shield and scroll is not evident on Bill's specimen.

I took the liberty of posting images of the 1858 rotated reverse dime on the www.seateddimevarieties.com message board to tease Jason Feldman, a serious collector of seated dimes with rotated reverses. Upon seeing the post, Jason offered a second example previously purchased from Brian Greer during 2006. His example grades Fine 12 with even brown and gray toning.
