Have never found a coin with that degree of rotation. It's almost a different orientation!

Excellent. Very nice find EV. Looks to be about 16-17 degree rotation.

Thank ypu John1! PetesPockets55, it's rotated a lot more than that. It's rotated by 160 something degrees. If it was rotated by 16 or 17 degrees, the reverse wouldn't be upside down.

Congratulations.
That must have taken a LONG time considering the deliberate effort it takes to detect a rotation like that, or any rotation for that matter. I recently finished a bucket of Lincoln cents roughly 10,000 coins. It took me all of 3 months to check both side just for errors. I did not check for rotation, so the time would of at least been doubled.

So it is. Double congratulations. (Ok then, do we subtract 16 degrees from 180 and voila- 164 degrees?)
