Comments:  The reverse die is rotated left by 52 degrees. No die cracks are evident on the rotated reverse die therefore suggesting that the improper die alignment occurred early during the die pairing. To date, I have not seen other documentation or listings of a rotated reverse for the Large O reverse die. This is undoubtably a rare variety that should bring a strong premium if other pieces can be located.
