I'm embarrassed THIS is my first post, I hope I did it correctly. Is this considered a good amount of rotation or more common?

southsav Pillar of the Community 2224 Posts	Posted 02/28/2022 4:34 pm to CCF If your coin flip from obverse to reverse for the photos is correct, then I think it would be about 80 degrees. Think about it, 360 would be a rotation completely around. Your starting point would also be your finish point. Think of the face of a clock. If you start at 6, a move to 9 would be 90 degrees, 12 would be 180 degrees, then continue all the way around back to 6, would make 360 degrees. Hope this makes sense. A good way to do this is using a mirror. That way you can look at, photograph, your coin at an angle and capture both sides in one photo. I think I got this correct! Use the search box, Home page top left. Type in coin rotation and read the results. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

I Am The Error New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/28/2022 5:14 pm Using a mirror never crossed my mind. I will remember that for next time. :) Hopefully there is a next time, lol Thank you everyone for you help. @southsav You explained that using an easy to understand analogy and that is exactly what I needed to wrap my mind around it. Appreciate it. Report this Post to the Staff
