Half cent people, is this rotation common?

I picked up this beauty today. It's almost a medal level rotation. I was curious if this is fairly common, very common, or maybe just slightly uncommon. Also, is it just a run of the mill 1825? Thanks!

With all the half cents I have, I almost unusual to have one that ISN'T rotated to some degree....

I also think they're pretty common with rotated dies...

yep, both classic half cents i have are rotated to some degree... not as much as this though.

Probably has a slight premium for interest, to the right buyer, but otherwise, pretty normal.

another 1825, for comparison:

I know that rotated dies are going to be common. But I was curious if this near medal orientation was beyond the normal expected range.

yep, your 150+ degree rotation is unusual. Normally, they're 0-90 degrees, anything over 120 is starting to be pretty unusual, i would think.
