The reverse of this coin is not vertical or slightly tilted to the Right. It is tilted to the left. When I checked online.. this coin appears to be an error. Am I correct?   |

It is tilted the same amount in each direction, so it is normal.

Really?
All the coins on line are vertical or slightly right.
All the older coins I have are vertical

If you were to take the coin out of the case and set the obverse in correct alignment and then flipped it, end over end, the reverse would also be correctly aligned.

@razz, one of the best ways to check if there is a rotation error is by taking a picture of one side of the coin in the foreground and the reverse in the background via its reflection in a mirror. From the current pics, it looks like this coin is just rotated a bit in the mint packaging, but that other photograph would help to confirm.

Spence is correct. A mirror pic would tell us much.

No offense guys but you can easily see the same, equal rotation, in the current pics.

Razz123, what I did here is very rudimentary but hope it will help you understand what I'm saying. I marked up your pics with lines that show what I mean about the variance being the same and the fact that it is rotated in the case may be messing with you.   -makecents-

Hold up a coin facing Obverse.
Now tilt to the right.
Flip in vertically.
The reverse is supposed to be tilted to the right, same as face.
This is tilted to the Left, which is opposite direction.

I 100% agree @make, but my intent in telling @razz about this photography method was to help them learn how to figure out these things on their own. Answering specific questions is important of course on CCF, but I think even more so is teaching folks how to answer them on their own. Added: @razz, draw the same vertical axis line through the images of the coin in that mirror picture and I think you'll see that they are parallel. This is what @make was saying.

Razz123, take any U.S. coin from circulation, put it in front of you at approximately the same angle as your half, flip it end over end and try to do so straight and let me know what you see.

I agree, Spence. Sorry for any ripples. Seem to be making some lately.

I think I will take my leave for a bit. Not helping much lately and that's what I want to do, is help.
