  Looks like about 190 degrees CCW. I think that it is actually quite common for these coins and somewhat hurts the value (from what I've heard)/

  IMO, it looks like it is rotated 135 degrees clockwise, and the rarity of the coin will most likely drown out the value of the error.

  There are (2) Clock-wise Major rotated die 1868 Proof Indian cents:
  One is 135 degrees and the other is 170 degrees....Both are listed at an R-4 rarity factor.

  Is it typical of NGC (or, even PCGS for that matter) to not denote the rotation on the insert, or is it up to the submitter to request such (and forward the 'error' variety fee)?

  For rotated Ikes, PCGS will put the degrees and direction (CW or CCW)....NGC just puts "Rotated Dies".
  At least, for the ones I have seen.....I can't really speak about rotated coins other than Ikes.

  P.S. PCGS also charges $40 and NGC charges less than $15...maybe that is the difference?
  
  edited to add P.S.
