I started off by estimating a center-line on the obverse, cutting the coin in half vertically. I then flipped the coin as best & perfect as I could with the help of some additional lines. I then drew an estimated vertical line halving the reverse. What I ended up with was what looks like a perfect 90 degree rotational error (give or take a couple degrees)!    |

Awesome find! Did you find this roll hunting? Nah, I found my coin collection that I totally forgot about, from 8 years ago when I was basically a kid. Can't believe I actually almost lost this one  . 8 years ago, this one either came out of pocket change or my bank jar. I do plan on going bank-roll hunting soon though, for the first time. |

Make sure to flatten those staples.Using the mirror method to post pics is best for rotated die coins. http://www.rotateddies.com/John1  |

Nice! As John1 said, flatten the staples. You don't want to damage your other coins. I've stopped using staples and use tape on all of my 2x2s. The only coins that it's really hard NOT to use staples on are the silver III¢ 'Fish Scales.' They want to move around in a taped flip so I use thin double sided Scotch tape inside of the flip on the polypropylene under the cardboard.

Use a "Flat Clinch" stapler. Available on Amazon for $10 - $12. The reason most staplers produce a looped staple is so the staple remover can easily pull the staples out. With a flat clinch stapler the anvil flattens the ends neatly and cleanly, removing risk of accidental damage. |

@Yokozuna, I hope you're using archival tape, I've handled quite a few collections where regular scotch tape has seeped chemicals across the 2x2 and caused extensive damage, especially to copper / bronze alloys...
