Regarding the "standard pattern".
Is it safe to presume all or most all Imperial Dragon Dollars have a die axis of 12:00?
I come across a number of fakes with rotated reverses and I'd like to think that is a flaw with the fake makers.
Do you guys that know Dragon Dollars better than I do agree?
My method is this: I hold the obverse straight up and pivot the coin in fingertips to see how the reverse appears. Most are 12:00 but sometimes I get a 10:00 or 11:00
