  Without pictures, it's nearly impossible to help you. Errers and Varietys.

Okay guys I got the pics now I have added another 72d to illustrate what I'm saying first pic both pennies are heads facing the same direction..
Now when I flip both to the same side to the reverse that's where you will see the rotation erorr facing towards 9 o'clock   |

I think there is a 'slight' market for these. They are a bit more rare than these fellas are implying. I see them going on the Bay for about $4-5. Which ain't much but it's something.
Wheat pennies (especially key and semi-key dates) are worth substantially more. And as Crazybo said, full 180 degree ones are also worth much more.
It's always worth what someone is willing to pay!
EDIT: Nice find by the way. This error is always eye catching to me. Mainly due to the surprise of being misaligned.

Excellent find!  I haven't found anything with a rotation even close to that. It's a keeper for sure and definitely worth a premium over face value. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

That's a really nice find. As others have noted rotation errors have little market value as few collect them, but a cent worth five bucks is still a nice premium. You may just want to put that one in your collection as a rare coin error and be happy to own such a cool coin.

Be sure to check the edge for a seem to make sure it is not a Magician coin. John1  |

Nows the fun part, finding out what causes a rotated die!  If you find out how many "magic keyways" they used in 1972, please let me know, curious to find out...?  Edited by Crazyb0

Correct me if I'm wrong, but even magician coins garner a premium too, don't they?
Win/win. Great first error find for sure.

I have never found a one cent magician coin. I have found many of the other denominations. True rotated coins are very difficult to find. I have looked at millions of cents and have only found two. One was a known 1994 rotated and one was maybe a 2013 with near 180 degree rotation in BU. I sold that one for about $90.00 a couple of years ago. I should have kept it. At the time I thought I might find another example but never have. Nickels are the easiest to find. Nice find.
