I personally don't buy a coin with some degree difference unless it was a full 180, just my opinion, i don't think they hold any more value than it normally would

Take a good look around before deciding, I know this sounds obvious, but sometimes we just jump in. Then you can compare and make your mind up better. Good luck.

The coin is only rated scarce. I wouldn't give you that amount for it. Try selling it yourself for £700. double check everything before you part with your hard earned cash.

It's not a rare year, is a gVF grade and has a die rotation, so is essentially a manufacturing fault. It's rotated more than you usually see but would NGC or PCGS grade it as an error?

Also bear in mind every coin produced from this die pair will be the same so not rare. People don't generally check for these so most are missed.

Drake is also calling it an error but has PCGS called It an error, I doubt it, so just a bit of spin by the seller playing on its rotation, for me it’s a £300 ish coin which you can probably find in better raw grade elsewhere for much less money.
