Found this guy and I just have some questions so I did put it in a 2x2 thing but it's for 50 cent piece and I left and I zoomed out pictures that corner of the countertop into the picture also on the bottom. Is this is like a 10 degree ? Are these even really sought after as Collectibles? is it a major error, or a more common of an error? also are they even valuable if ungraded . Whether or not it is worth it or if it isn't would one have to have it created in order for it to see any type of value? Keeper not a seller just curious.

Appears to be a minor misaligned die on the obverse. Not uncommon. Your example is worth one cent. The only circumstance where these are more valuable is when the misalignment is severe enough to 'cut off' details like lettering. Google ' Lincoln Cent misaligned die' and check the images.

Suggest flattening those staples to avoid damage to other coins stacked with your 2x2.

Ive Been looking for a long time this is the first one I've found that's noticeably off thank you for the advice on the staple it's already been taking out because they're self-stickable I put that in there just so you could see the degree of the misalignment

Very minor Misaligned Die (MAD). No premium. The Die Rotation is also too minor to have a premium over face value.

Very slight MAD with a slight die rotation - good eye to spot that!

You're mixing up two different things. A MAD is miss aligned die, that's when the obverse or reverse is slid to one side. A rotated die is when the devises are rotated, so you don't have coin alignment. Your coin is a slight rotated die, but not enough to carry any premium. And I don't think there is enough of a MAD to even call it one.
