Are there any known major die rotations on lincoln cents more recent than 1994?

How collectable are they in general?

Thanks in advance.

Define major. I have a few 2014 LSC's that are about 35 degrees rotated but most collectors say it needs to be 45 or 90 to be a keeper. Useful info from numismaster.com Mint tolerance for setting dies is up to seven degrees per die, so any example with a lesser amount is not collectible. The most popular are the 45, 90 and 180 degree rotations. The amount of rotation is described as either clockwise or counter-clockwise.

Collectors show little interest in rotations smaller than 45 degrees, except for proofs which will start at about 20 degrees. Some of the 1903 proof nickels come with 180 degree rotated reverses (the reverse is upside down if the coin is turned top to bottom) and the same occurred with some of the 1868 Indian Head proof cents.

By major, I mean 90 degree or greater rotation.

This is a website that you might be interested in. It has listings for 90-180 degree rotations.
There may be more as well

There is a 2013 with a near 180 degree rotation. I sold it on the bay over a year ago. It sold for nearly $100. I looked for photos but I have deleted them.

The one I had was probably within five degrees of 180.
