rockfish Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 10/02/2017 08:41 am One of my coin orientation PEI pennies has the die turned about 12 degrees. Is this very common? Also, does anyone know how common coin orientation is compared to medal orientation on this issue? many thanks Report this Post to the Staff

rockfish Valued Member Canada 217 Posts	Posted 10/03/2017 09:41 am Yes, the obverse and reverse don't line up exactly - off by about 12 degrees. I don't know if this is common or not? Thanks SPP and Smallcent, I had checked charlton and thought their info seemed odd as I don't think I've ever seen medal orientation with this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
