Flip the 6:00 edge over and then the reverse is horizontal. That is what BStrauss3 means by flipping on the 9/3 axis -- the axis is the part that doesn't move, and which the rest of the coin rotates about. (Think of the earth's axis, which connects the north and south poles.) We're all saying the same thing but getting hung up on the terminology. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/02/2018 11:20 pm Here is a good way to show mis-alignment: Normal would show a U.S. coin obverse level and mirrored upside down. If it is not, then it is misaligned. 45 degree and higher is the better ones to keep. Report this Post to the Staff
