Well car10 after reading this thread I decided to do a little looking for myself. Easy to add in since I'm already looking for 1994 DDRs. Tonight found this fellow. Full reverse picture is my attempt at doing the normal flip-over to give an idea of rotation. The mirror shot also shows the rotation though not the full reverse.

Great find/Great find

Thanks all! I can't remember where I saw someone else use a mirror to show front and back of a coin at the same time, maybe eBay?

In looking a little more exactly, this one seems to have a 165 degree rotation, which sounds just like yours, car10- likely made at almost the same time, I guess.

Makes your head spin a little when you first turn it over, didn't it?

Yeah, I think I had to flip it over 3 or 4 times before it made sense and I figured out what it was.

I was not looking for a rotational error, but was looking through an old can of Lincoln Cents that I had been accumulating for a good number of years. I started coin collecting 40 years ago, but because of life in general, military, collage, career, marriage, etc, it had been an on again, off again hobby. My general tendency of inspecting a coin was to simply view observe and then flip head over tail to view the reverse in its' proper upright orientation. When I did this to a 1994 P Lincoln Cent, I was looking at it in an upside-down orientation with a rather dumbfounded gaze. For a moment, I thought that I may have flipped it improperly, so I flipped it back, and the obverse was right side up. It was then that I realized that I had found a rotational error. A photo of the coin is enclosed. Ever since that find I keep a conscious eye out for this type of error, but have not found any others. This coin is still raw, but I will eventually get it graded.
Best Regards,
