It looks to me like the target areas are somewhat uniform, does anyone else see that? Thanks for looking! Also, slightly rotated die, like those as much as clashes :) The last two pics are not for eye candy, sorry! Report this Post to the Staff

The rotation is nice but I think it's within mint tolerances,still a keeper though. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 7:18 pm yes I see that, nice one! So does small mean without imprint on flap? Report this Post to the Staff
DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 9:31 pm No,small as a percentage of the over all surface of the coin. I would say mine is also small. Report this Post to the Staff

wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 10:14 pm chzman...Your coin is also 16% off centre. Report this Post to the Staff
chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 10:37 pm wow thanks for that, what program is that? Do you see the lamination on the rest of the coin up to the top of Lincoln's head? Is it possible that this metal could also raise up even more? Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 10:45 pm chzman...The program is called GWYDDION and it is FREE. It can do lots of things like 360% rotation analysis, etc. etc. The link is below and look about half way down the page for those of you who still use Windows. http://gwyddion.net/download.php Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 10/30/2012 10:56 pm Here is a quick thing you can do with this software and it was done in about 1 minute...Didn't have much time but shows lamination raised above the surface of your coin. Edited by wert 10/30/2012 11:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 10/31/2012 12:01 am Darn, I was thinking this may be a 45 deg rotation, do you think I used the program correctly? Report this Post to the Staff
