Well, I grabbed this penny from work because it felt funny... it's edges were sort of sharp, and it seemed a little bit thicker than the other pennies... Probably just normal slight differences, but I just noticed it's actually rotated by a few degrees. In the top of the picture with the two pennies side-by-side, the left normal, the right the rotated, I lined up their faces as accurately as I could by eye, and that's the degree it's off by.

Pretty cool! I think the tolerance for the mint is within 10 degrees and that one is pretty close. Unfortunately unless it is more like 45 degrees there is not much premium (if any) involved. I have a few, but none more than 10 degrees yet....still looking.
