Post a Coin with a Significantly Rotated Reverse

Here is my entry: an 1844-D half eagle from the North Georgia Collection. It wasn't in the 1999 Heritage FUN auction, but was sold privately the previous summer by the dealers who handled the collection (part of a fixed price list of North Georgia C- and D-Mint coins). The photography is courtesy of Todd Pollock (BluCC Photos).

Here`s a proof 66RB Injun that I have that has the reverse rotation of 170 deg...According to Rick Snow`s red book about 15% are known for that characteristic... Wish i had a better pic of the rotation... I will have a better one...One day soon...

This is an 1872 Proof shield nickel with a doubled die and a nearly 180 degree rotated reverse (the photo indicates the rotation). What more could you ask for?
I have only ever seen one of these.

A better presentation of the coin.

RWB mentioned that it was just possible to rotate the digital images and that an actual rotated example wasn't needed.
Doh... I sold it shorty afterwards as rotated Peace $1's are not scarce.
Edited to say that I agree with Realone. Any rotation over 90 degrees is cool enough to make note of, otherwise <shrug>.

<< <i>I specifically bought the example below so RWB would have an image for his Mint Error section in his Peace Dollar book.

The name is LEE!
in the slab
without the usual circular crop
is the way to demonstrate this IMO

Do you think it's from the same dies? And for the longest time I thought I had something special. Oh well.

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!

I think we had a discussion once here about this and determined that the rotation was common for this date/variety.
