Is this a mint error and what is it called? 2 2

[Walter Holmes]

I have an 1892 Columbian Exposition commemorative half dollar. The reverse is tilted towards the one o’clock mark rather than being in line with the obverse. I was wondering what causes this misalignment and is there a specific term to describe this anomaly? As noted in the picture I called it reverse off center for lack of a better understanding.  Thank you

Welcome to the forum. Probably wouldn’t matter as this coin appears to have been harshly cleaned and the coin itself dies not hold great value at around $50 at best . The term used is rotated die.

Minor rotated die as @Mr.Bill347 said.  I believe the spec used by the mint is 27 degrees (I may be off a few degrees) and the rotation on your coin is much less, so technically, it wouldn't be an error

Correct typo

It's a minor rotated die, as Mr. Bill mentioned. The awful scratched render the almost worthless to a collector. There are no errors visible.

Even if its harshly cleaned and holds little value, it's still interesting as 1892 was the first year that commemorative coins such as that half dollar were issued in the US.

But if you collect those types of coins, I would look for a better example.

What is it called?

Welp, you could hold it, and cuddle it, and call it George.
