Fistcha Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 8:33 pm This coin 1964 Lincoln is strange. I can flip it and it is not lined up if I flip it the other side comes up at 2 oclock. and It has problems on the IN and on chin and top of the head look like his hair was pulled. And its something behind his neck. Thank you for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1498 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 8:39 pm It would be a rotated-die error, typically measured in degrees. I'd you take a photo in a mirror where both sides are visible at the same time, it serves as proof (if, say, you are trying to sell the coin online). Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97227 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 9:01 pm Can you post a picture of the coin using a mirror so we can see both sides at the same time in the same picture? It will help us determine how much of an offset the coin is from Obverse to reverse. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Fistcha Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 9:44 pm sorry guys I don't understand how to use the mirrors, so we will just forget that action. And thank you for telling so I know I can junk this one. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff
hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3652 Posts	Posted 07/27/2021 11:34 pm Fistcha, if you just hold the coin close to a mirror and take a photo at a slight angle so it shows both the obverse and the reflection of the reverse, that'll show the amount of rotation the coin has. It's fairly easy to do, but you might have to play with it a bit at first, if you're interested. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.
