Slightly rotated dies ,,and one with the small amount as the one you pictured does not carry any value above that of a normal coin.

So, how much rotation would make a coin desireable as a rotated die?

A coin struck from a rotated die would be considered an ERROR?

Hey Firecom911,

I think the rule of thumb is anything past 90 degrees has a premium. And I would consider them an error.

I read somewhere that 15 degrees off is the benchmark.
