Looks like a rotated reverse?

Very nice coin, even if it wasn't a rotated die. Do you have any idea how much a large rotation like this adds to the value of this coin?

As much as 10% of the proofs this year come with the 170 degree rotated dies - the dies were wrongly fixed in place for a # of strikes.
