I've got a 1921 Mercury dime in fair to good condition. Plenty of wear, but date is clearly visible and you can see it's got no mint mark. The obverse and reverse are offset from each other maybe 15 degrees. Enough so that it's obvious when you flip it over. Does this rotation add any value?

    No extra vaule. Many early Mercury Dimes are rotated.

    You need more than 45 degrees and closer to 90 degrees before you can expect some premium. And, yes, many Mercs have rotated dies.
