Cool !
Good job.
I like the attribution side of coin collecting. It melds well with the network security stuff that I do.
= )

The reason my pics are good is due to a microscope setup. For me, it makes sense to have the equipment and has already paid for itself.

If you run into any more that you need RPM attribution on, I may be able to help. Depends on whats on the plate.

Thanks Gary, I'm getting the hang of this slowly but surely. I have a few more but I will post them with more detail and perhaps you can just verify when you have time. Off to work.
Thanks Again,
Deb

Gary,
You can't tell from the pictures but I was just putting this penny in one of those coin holders and noticed the front and back do not line up. Is this called rotated and how do I research that?
Thanks,
Deb

deb,
yep, its usually called Die Rotation.

Typically if you take a penny, heads up and flip it over the memorial building should be upright. If it is off, its a die rotation error.
I don't know if they fetch a premium or not.

People Like John1, Dr. Don, wert and a few others have run into these before and may be able to help. If the coin is significantly off, say 45 to 90 degrees or more, I recommend you start a new post with the pic of the coin in the holder, Lincoln straight up, take a pic of it and then flip it over as accurately as you can and take a pic of it as well. Some one might be able to tell you exactly how far off it is, and whether its significant or not.

To tell you the honest truth I very rarely pay attention to this. I have made a mental note when my son and I put the coins in mylars or snaps to do a quicklook to see if any are off a lot and mark them accordingly.

I never really notice either except for the fact I was putting this in one of the little cardboard holder with a window and that's how it caught my eye. I'll start another post if needed. Thanks, Deb
