If you think about the odds, with a bazillion Lincoln cents produced, rotated dies aren't that uncommon. And BTW, you can't go over 180° rotation
360 degrees in a circle 180 is only half way.
Not based on prices on eBay they're not common
my bad
ratings listed below include all coins rotated 90 - 180 degrees for that date NOT each individual degree of rotation. Coins are listed as clockwise or counter clockwise, no designation means direction of rotation is unknown.
Using your holder as a reference,
and seeing that the obv. side is
already rotated in the holder itself,
I think the coin is rotated about
70-95 degrees.
If you want to know a better Degree
of Rotation, take the coin out of the
holder, hold it with Lincoln's head up
and "We" pointing to 12:00.
Then, flip the coin OVER, not side to side,
and determine what clock position the
top of the reverse "TES" points to.
They are scarce, not rare.
