Hello everyone,  came across this and thought I would share. I'm trying to figure out exact how many degrees this is rotated. I was hoping someone might know. Thanks

The Obverse is not perfectly straight so that will make the rotation even less. Without checking it, In would say that it is about a 10° rotation. Not enough to add any value but a keeper as an example.

Thank you greenstang,   I have another one but the reverse is going the other way. Does that make a difference. Just wondering.

To my frequently wrong eye, it looks like more than 10 degrees - perhaps 20?  But it isn't worth really anything more than base value.

It is a very nice wheatie.👍
