Do Bust dimes often come with rotated dies?

I picked one up on ebay and cracked it for my 7070 and noticed the dies were rotated about 15 degrees or so.

It is not unusual at all to find one with minor rotations. 90 degree rotations or greater are interesting and can bring a small premium to the right buyer.

Thanks,
That kind of rotation would seem far more acceptable in that era than by today's standards.

The dies were held in place by a set screw- easy to come loose and rotate.

Mint tolerance is 27 degrees, and in general,

unless the rotation is at least 45 degrees,

it's not valued or priced as a Rotated Reverse.
