Half sovereign with slight rotation? Added premium?

[Schnitzel]

I have an Australian half Sovereign 1915 that when I looked closer at it seems to have rotation betweel the obverse and the reverse.I moved it to a paper flip and added a staple at 6 o'clock to show the difference, the St George side looks straigt in the flip but apparantly I didn't hold the camera straight haha! But hopefully you can see the difference. 

Personally I have never heard about sovs being rotated? Have any of you? Is it any added premium if selling? Gold is up after all

Ever considered it's a fake?

Lovely looking half sov (be careful with the staples! 😅). Rotated ones do exist and 'oddities' may attract premium from certain buyers. 

Surely @drakesterling knows all about these type of coins.

Sovs and halves rotated like this occur not infrequently. Anything less than 90 degrees is not really noteworthy unless you're really into it, but still, great observation.

I have not in fact. I bought it from a reputable source a year or so ago

Yes! I was VERY careful not to have the stapler to close hehe. I have a special coin flip stapler that can get up and close without touching the coin itself.
