The staples are my orientation point in the 2x2. Not turned a significant amount, but neat IMHO. Thanks for the look. Report this Post to the Staff

If flipped side to side, then it would be interesting. So it is hard to say from the images provided. Report this Post to the Staff

A clean alignment as presented makes it easier for a third party to see whats going on in the image and do rotation assessments. You can confirm coin flip or medal flip verbally. If wanting to show on flip itself. A line or just a dot can be placed by "one" of the staples front and back. We could tell it without question then. Report this Post to the Staff
andywoj00 Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 1:43 pm It was flipped top to bottom. It's only about a 10 degree CW rotation, so it doesn't "qualify" to be listed anywhere. 90degree+ seems to be the norm. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/18/2016 2:34 pm If you draw a line on a 2X2 from NW corner to SE corner, (or NE to SW corners) that is 45 degrees rotation. That is what you should be looking for at least for a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
