Question for Eisenhower Dollar Experts: My 1976 Type 2 Dollar has a reverse rotated 15 Degrees from

I have a PCGS-64 (with beautiful toning!) 1976 Type 2 Eisenhower Dollar.

On the obverse side, Eisenhower's bust is exactly straight up and down in the holder. However, when I flip the holder around, the Liberty Bell is rotated almost 20 degrees to the left. Is this a known "Rotated Die" variety?

Thank you!

    Don't know if it is recorded anywhere, but as a rule in the error field anything under 15 degrees rotation is considered insignificant. Not sure if anybody would care much about 20 degrees.
