I have a 1965 silver dollar that the word "D.G. REGINA" is slightly up on the 1965 than the 1967. Is this normal? 1965  . 1967  |

Sure. You should compare the alignment to other 1965s to tell if there's anything unusual.

I was thinking about that too, but I dont have another 1965, And this was the closes thing I got to a 1965. Maybe somebody else has one? that we could compare?  |

It's an optical illusion.The vertical axes of your two coins are not parallel.Line them up properly and you'll see there is no rotation.

Thanks, DBM. But I'm going to compare another 65 to mine just to see.

The black line from A to L in one and from A to E in the other confused me for a bit.
I agree that it appears to be an optical illusion. :P

Here, just for you I took five out of a roll, carded and scanned them. You can cut them out of the image one at a time and rotate the image using Gimp or other applications such as Irfanview. The image is large so you have pixels to work with, just click on it to make it big and you can save and manipulate it on your computer.  Edited by Ugly

coincollect, the reason they all look the same is because of the "rotation" of the coin in the pics. The queen is looking slightly upward in them, giving the letters the appearance of being unaligned to each other.
