Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 04/11/2008 09:11 am Hey, Kurt, nice find, but I am a little confused. I am assuming that this is the front and back of the same coin. If so, wouldn't the off-center orientation be 180 degrees out from front to back. What I mean is, if the thin part of the rim is at 6:00 on the obverse, shouldn't be at 12:00 on the reverse? thx, Jim Report this Post to the Staff

The die rotation is the same as used in medals, so to see the opposite side of a coin right side up we would turn it from side to side rather than top to bottom.
