For the Experts:

Since this coin was found with a 47 Degree die rotation on it, does this mean that any subsequent 96 Wide AM's that may be found will have this rotation error also, or does this die rotation pertain to one coin?

Thanks.

Not necessarily. The 1996 Wide AM will be on every coin struck by that die. If the 47 degree rotation occurred on the first strike because it was placed in the press incorrectly, then yes all coins will be the same. However, if the die key broke during the coining operation which caused the reverse die to rotate while in the press, then no, all coins will not have that rotation.
