1973 D is a year to look for rotated dies. There are a few for this year -
1973-D Lincoln 1 cent 90 degrees N/A R5
1973-D Lincoln 1 cent 100 degrees N/A R5
1973-D* Lincoln 1 cent 105 degrees cw AU R5
1973-D Lincoln 1 cent 120 degrees N/A R5
1973-D Lincoln 1 cent 135 degrees N/A R5
1973-D Lincoln 1 cent 170 degrees N/A R5
I can't tell from your picture what you have there. Can you correctly flip the coin to give us an idea? If the coin is correcty oriented, then you may have the 170 degree error.

Hi Andrew - normally folks will use the staples (3) to indicate how the 2x2 was flipped. Assuming you did this correctly, then you might have the 170 degree rotational error. The bigger the error - the better. I have a 1994 rotational error in Unc that is 165 degree that looks similar.
I don't see a listing on value, but there are a couple noted for 1972 that run $5-$10 for a coin in your condition. A nice find!!
Re: spot - looks like a stain but should detract too much off the value of your error coin.

if the coin in the 2x2 was flipped left to right (coin flip, since images are turned), the rotation only looks like maybe 10-20%  |

After looking at the pictures again and trying to match the angles, I think the rotation is closer to 8-9%
