I know it's a bit petty, but showing the photo kitty-waumpuss makes it hard to see the coin, and when I'm on a tablet, it flips back no matter how I hold it.

The only thing I can say for sure is that the cheek on the obverse looks unbelievably perfect.

I'd really love to see this coin with the background edited out so only the coin is showing in the upright orientation.

I had the same problem with my photos. If you are taking the pics with a phone, the phone's software is attaching a bit of code to the picture that determines the orientation. Without removing that code, there is no way to get it upright no matter how much you rotate it in your picture editor. You can google for software that strips that code and you can apply it to your pictures folders in your devices.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Now I'm totally confused, because I took it in the upright position, and I used the free editor that the website provides, and it was upright there, too!

The ccf editor will not remove the code that the phone adds for orientation.

This one appears to be the A1f reverse but I can't tell which one (either VAM-12, 16 or 17). You'll need to finish attributing this one.
