I was not sure how to tell about rotation so I put tape on the cent and marked it on both sides and leveled it to marks on board. Report this Post to the Staff

gsp193 Pillar of the Community United States 975 Posts	Posted 11/02/2021 11:07 pm Thanks Coinfrog, I just had never found one yet, but have been looking, even though it is slight, was happy to find it. Report this Post to the Staff

A better way to display a rotated coin is with the use of a mirror to take a picture of both sides simultaneously. If that LMC were a collectable coin, you would quite possibly have just damaged it Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 11/03/2021 10:29 am Hey gsp. I don't think it was mentioned yet but yes, you have a Misaligned Die as well (or better known as a MAD). A rotated die and a misaligned die are two totally separate things. Edited by Bumpkin 11/03/2021 10:31 am Report this Post to the Staff
