These pictures are of a normal 1891 O Morgan and the rotated reverse 1891 O. What is the degree of rotation and value?
The center picture is of the edge of the coin to show it isn't a pieced together job. Thanks, Mike

That's pretty darn cool. It appears to be about 135-degrees counter-clockwise. As for value, I have no idea.

Yours is one of the better rotated dies on the Morgan series.
Too bad it isn't a little higher grade.
Here is a list of the known rotated Morgan's, I looked for a an idea of value but didn't find anything of much help.
Maybe @messydesk can give you an idea of value.

Looks to be around 120 degrees CCW. 180 the eagle would be completely upside down. Nice rotation. Any rotation thats more than 90 degrees is desirable and brings a premium.
