I just found this rotated die. What's the degree for it to be collected?

An acceptable margin of error is less than 15 degrees. Anything over a 15 degree rotation is considered collectible. Rotation variations of 90 degrees or more are more valuable with 180 degree variations being the most desirable.
Nice Find!

Of course, the larger the rotation, the more it is worth. In this case, the rotation appears to be 30 to 35 degrees, which is well outside the norm allowed by the mint (8 degrees). The starting point for collectible rotations seems to be around 15 degrees.

Here's a nice website that describes how to make your own degree of rotation measurement device

That article is attributed to Christopher R. Hill and dated February 18, 2008.

The site looks like it came online about the same time February this year:

One of those web guys like Pat could probably find out more?

Though I do have a scale , for yucks I made the popcicle stick ( Gabe's Coins ) balance beam from your site and used it for determining 82 zinc and coppers. It works! His idea looks good for determining excact rotationals in degrees. ( Been off this week... had way too much time on my hands )

I found his page from his ".sig" line on the cointalk.org website, but I can't remember his name there just now.

That is the reason I asked. I wanted to share Gabe's do-it-yourself scale.
