How-Do-I-Rotate-A-Coin-In-A-US-Uncirculated-Mint-Set?

I received a 2021 US Mint Uncirculated set. The Kennedy half dollar is 90 degrees off center. How do I rotate the Kennedy half so that it is "straight" without damaging the protective covering?

Thank you in advance!

Chances of rotating one without dislocating the others are slim.

That's frustrating. Agree with @coinfrog there is little hope in correcting the issue. The cent is partially rotated, too, I see.

Starting in 2022, the UNC set coins are "clipped" into place a little better.

Try holding it flat and shaking and rotating at the same time. You will need to hold the other coins steady though. You will probably need to rotate anti clockwise to make the coin move clockwise from memory. I haven't done it for a while.

Looks frustrating - let us know what you figure out.
