Kennedy and the Eagle: An Error?

I just discovered that my 2013-p Kennedy half dollar coin (found while CRH) seems to be a little unusual.

Both Kennedy and the eagle are both right side up, facing left.

That is, if you place the coin on edge so that Kennedy is standing up and facing left, then turn the coin on its vertical axis, the eagle is tail down and head up, also facing left. On all of my other Kennedy half dollar coins, the eagle is upside down, facing right (in relation to Kennedy on the vertical axis).

What do you think, is this a significant error?

Could be a dramatic rotated die, but also check to see if it's a magician's coin. Does it ring like a normal half dollar when flicked?

That is strange. I can't help ya out on this one because I don't know much on errors. I have to check my 2013p halves now!

Someone posted about this a while ago, only I believe it was a '67 half in a cellophane as part of a mint set. So I guess it's possible to have die rotated that much.

Pretty neat find for sure!
