nocho16 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 11/28/2017 9:55 pm Question... is it possible for a single letter, lets say the D in GOD to be angled differently or slightly askew compared to the other letters in the word. I'm not real familiar with the process of making coins but it seems to me to be an impossibility although I have come across a coin that looks to have exactly that. I'm dont really see the need to post a photo until I know it can actually happen. So I pre-thank anyone who will answer this question... thanks Report this Post to the Staff
