I found this rotated die tonight. I put it in the flip so the pics will show by how much cause I'm not sure. If I had to guess I'd say maybe 20 to 30 degrees? I found it interesting to find I cant get out of the house right now with this fractured foot/leg so no bricks for a while. I just keep going through my coins here at the house lol
I would think it is 11 deg cw from where it should be considering Lincoln's Cents are struck in a "coin turn" patern ( obv and rev are vertically opposite) and not in "medal turn" pattern (obv and rev are in the same vertical position). However, I don't know is there is a system already in place to indicate the angle using zero or 180 as the reference.
I'm not sure which is the correct way of stating it.
I wasn't able to upload an image to the LCF today, so the following LINK illustrates my thoughts here.
Since you never know the real direction they always use the number below 180.
Depending on how the coin in this post is flipped (side to side or up to down) matters for the photo.
(thats why Silver1985 and Coin5 are getting different answers, you never say how you rotated for the photo)
It's above 15 degrees which is the minimum to get any attention/premium even slight. Or more if it was photoed flipped the other way.
I think that's the way it should be flipped up and down (coin turn) so the reverse does not appear upside down.
Added: Btw, I did not calculated the angle, I just mentioned the same angle silver1985 mentioned 180-169=11 deg.
