Congratulations, significant rotations are always nice. Use the mirror method to show us both sides in one photo.

That is about 95 to 100 degrees rotation. Can you post up a mirror photo showing both sides?

I also would like to see a photo using the mirror method. Also noticed it looks like a MAD on the reverse.Is the rotated die listed on the rotated die web site? John1

In modern coinage, is this caused by incorrect die installation or die retention failing causing rotation during striking?

Nice find. When I started collecting back in the 60s, I wanted to find one of these so much. On any coin never did, and more than 50 years still haven't.

Don't worry I'm a professional coin handler. No coins were injured during the photo session of this Quarter.  Very gentle grip grasshopper!
