I don't know why when I turn the coin the image in the back is not centered as the others, why is that?  |

 to community your coin seems to be a normal strike, what area looks un-centered to you? FYI: if only one side of the coin is not centered, it is call misaligned die and when both sides of coin are uncentered it is an OFF CENTER strike. |

 with Greasy, rotated w/no premium. FYI, the "back" is refereed to as the reverse in coin collecting. |

There was more allowance for rotation like that with the wheat cents, especially the earlier ones. If a modern coin was that far off, it might be a bigger deal.

 Rotated:  The mirror is a great aid. Question: On the two images I posted, I edited one to create the normal rotation of the die. How what I able to create the reverse image to put into the upper circle? (I might reveal a trick here?) |

Thanks for including those last images Coop for the OP to see how it's done.
(I was kind of surprised to hear all the input from everyone about rotated dies when there was no definitive image to show it. The way it was imaged could have simply been a placement issue between both images.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
