awallin01 Valued Member United Kingdom 477 Posts	Posted 04/05/2014 7:55 pm Wow nice coin! When did British coins start being minted with the obverse and reverse in alignment via orientation? This coin shows on both the first strike and the second strike they were at 180 degrees orientation. Very nice double-strike.
