throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 12:12 am Got this 1969 Cameo Proof Nickel in change from a purchase today. after I 2x2ed it I found the reverse was rotated a bit. Too bad it suffered some damage while it was in the wild... thanks for looking, Blair Edited by throughtheireyes 04/06/2017 12:49 am Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 12:46 am Too bad it's a proof with those steps! Had me excited for a second thinking it was a circulation coin, but still a neat find. Report this Post to the Staff
throughtheireyes Valued Member 477 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 12:55 am Thanks! Does the rotated reverse give it any premium? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 01:23 am It's not rotated, the coin is out of alignment in the flip. I bet if you re-align Jefferson's bust to face due west, then Monticello will be horizontal or vice-versa. Despite that, it's certainly an excellent and unusual find from circulation.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/06/2017 03:03 am No, it's not about glasses. I posted that and had to recheck myself multiple times until I remembered my pocket piece. It confirmed the opposing direction thing. That sort of spacial thinking can be difficult and confusing. From what I understand, whether the coin has medal or coin alignment, a clockwise rotation on one side creates a counter-clockwise rotation on the other side. This is important with questions like this.
