Here's a couple of pictures. Appears that the reverse is off-set a bit. Normal or a slight error?

Rotated die error. Hard to spot.

Can you put your coin in a 2x2 with obverse straight,then take a pic from both front and back.if the reverse still shows the same rotation, then you have a mint error called Rotated Die.

Like this Chase007? No, mine isn't like that. They are still opposite, just rotated a bit.

The base should be pointing 45 degrees before anyone pays much attention to it. 45 degrees would place the base of the memorial even to 2 corners. Not there yet. An angle of 45 degrees looks like this:
