    Hello CT.
    No, I haven't found a DD YET to show you, but...
    Take a look at this 2000 Lincoln Cent. I was looking for a Variety 2000 Wide AM and finally found one. But to my great surprise, this coin is also a 45 degree rotated die.
    I took some pictures to show the coin and rotation.
    Any comments are greatly appreciated and welcome.
    Thanks in advance.
    Walter

    Nice WAM, good find. But I think you need to recalculate the degrees of rotation.

    Thanks @expat.
    But I thought the degrees of rotation were 45 to 50 degrees to the right. Am I wrong? What's your guess?
    Edited: Oh, sorry. Obviously the rotation is between 90 to 100 degrees.
    Where was I with my head??

    Nice find Wal. It looks to be almost a 90 deg rotation. Cool find and great photos.

    This was posted recently. Maybe it will help. And that’s a very nice rotated reverse.

    Thanks @Pickin and Grinin.
    It wasn't easy to take these pictures. The cell phone camera did not focus on both sides of the coin. I took a lot of pictures to get it.

    Thanks @paddyman98. Good observation. But if you look closely, you'll see that I've insulated the metal surface to hold the coin.;)
