I recently found a penny that was sitting on the shelf next to the washing machine and did a double take when I flipped it. The coin is circulated and has a fingerprint on the obverse.

I believe this is a rotated die penny it is a 1983 D. Haven't any idea of the population of rotated 1983 D pennies or values. I know the coin maybe a tiny bit off though the rotation can be still determined I believe. Suppose I will redo it and put the bottom of the building in alignment with the drawn lines.

when the obverse is right side up and lincolns head is straight up and you flip the coin over the building is suppose to be straight across and the bulding is not suppose to be tilted to the right like in the pictures.

15% and under rotation is considered to be within normal tolerances.
