While I was sorting my Liberty Nickel collection I noticed something strange. The reverse side of my 1912D seems to be rotated! I measured the angle offset at ~20 degrees. The plain 1912 is next to the 1912D for reference. I flipped and scanned the holder page (without touching the coins) and the rotation is very evident. What is/was the maximum amount of rotation allowed for acceptance by a mint? I guess my big question is should I get excited?

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but this type of error really isn't worth all that much, especially because the small degree of rotation is not that dramatic. This would not add any value at all to the coin. Sorry!
