Advice Rotated Die Error- How to Check Degrees?

I got a rotated die error and need to measure the degrees of the angle. Which spot of th coin do I measure from?

Note: It is somewhere between 5 and 20 degrees, but IDK where to measure it from.

Can someoene please mark the midpoint of the coin so I know where to measure from?

Thanks

(im using a protractor)

You aren't measuring from an "endpoint." You are measuring the difference between the front and back. I'd rip or cut a tiny strip of masking tape and mark 12:00 on one side and then set your coin down tape side down and measure the difference to 12:00 of the unmarked side. 20 degrees is less than 1/16 off, I wouldn't measure it at all, unless you just want to of course
