Hello team,

Can Anyone tell the degrees of rotation on this quarter? I'm guessing 105°CW. What say y'all?

Nice! Suggest flattening those 2x2 staples.

Close. Not to be picky, but it looks more like 112 degrees clockwise, assuming you flipped the flip top-to-bottom (as judged by by the positioning of the staples.)

One of the listed coins is 111 degrees, maybe that one?

it was flipped top to bottom (by looking at the sharpie dot on the film seen at the bottom of the obverse image)

Yes, and be sure to flatten the staples in order to avoid damage to other coins.

Here's a die rotation chart you can print out - I covered mine with clear packing tape so it lasts longer.........

I got a nice stapler that is designed purposely to flatten staples. I'd provide a link to it on Amazon, but I don't know whether or not that's permitted.
