    Here is my 1985-D:

    I was doing what I do... scan the obverse, flip and scan the reverse. It looked a little off, so I flipped it again and again and again and again. Eventually, it drove me nuts because I couldn't figure out if this was really rotated or if my fingers are just too fat, so I took a piece of tape and lined it up to a section of the monument and flipped it. This is the result.

    5 degree rotation?

    I'm guessing this is probably worth face value, but what I want to know is... is this amount of rotation enough to be considered rotated?

    As always, thanks for entertaining my posts!

    im pretty sure that the mint allows about a 15 degree leeway on that.

    This is definitely within mint standards. I think around 15-25% rotation is where the premiums begin.
