Hello,
I am not knowledgeable on error coins, and was looking for help on this 1934 Mercury Dime I found metal detecting this summer.

I am finally getting around to placing my summer finds into holders, and when I did, the obverse is noticeably off-set to the left of center about 10 degrees. I couldn't find anything in online research with this mentioned for this coin, so I am asking for help here to see if this is common/acceptable, or is this something else?

Thanks in advance, here is a 600dpi scan. I purposely used the same top edge of the holder to align for the scans, so the obverse is upside down, but this is the truest way to make a comparison front to back.

proper description is "rotated die"-- an error, but added value likely none
 

I agree with PEA.

(I'm not sure if the reverse is the one that is actually the rotated one.)
