Question
I have a 1965 us quarter that is slightly misprinted.the front isn,t exactly 180 degrees from the back its about 170 degrees. is it worth anything?


Answer
Hello,   

An error like this is not that valuable. These minor rotations are normal die wear.
Errors of 45 to 180 degrees are uncommon and more sought by collectors.
Also misaligned die errors are sought after where every coin made by the die pair is off the same amount of rotation.
You might get a dollar or two from an error collector if the coin is in mint state grade.
