If a coin was stamped and the re stamped at another angle, (say 10 degrees clock wise) is this considered a double die.

Your example would be called machine doubling. As the machine stamped the planchet multiple times.

If it was stamped and then stamped again at any degree of rotation it would be considered double struck

@OldEastside if you don't mind me asking, what is this called then?
See #acloco comment above

Is there any value to these coins or are they just neat collection pieces.
However that would be a Dramatic Machine Doubling @ 10 degree's #FredWeinberg could shed light on something like this

Have any pics ?

I don't know if it's 10 degrees but you can clearly see in "trust" that each letter is almost under the letter before and liberty starts way underneath and ends just under the y.
