Since I couldn't get a good pic in the holder, I couldn't use the staples as landmarks so IF the reverse is supposed to be 180 degrees opposite the obverse, the Shield on the reverse would be at 6 o'clock and on this coin, it's at about 4 o'clock (It isn't a direct flip on the picture as tough to align under the digital scope) Segue, it is odd to me that nowhere can I find the fact that the reverse is 180 degrees rotated, not only on this coin but any coin. Seems like that would be indicated somewhere!? Report this Post to the Staff

Bluevase Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 11/06/2017 1:29 pm Thanks all! Good info. Now, is the coin worth anything in it's poor condition yet with the rotation? Using the Rota-Flip chart Mark1959 provided above which I had to find elsewhere as I don't have a pininterest membership, I eyed it to be a about a 60 degree CCW rotation from 180 to 120 degrees on the chart. Thanks all again for the welcomes and the learning opportunity! Report this Post to the Staff
