Hello, I have a 1963 D Franklin half dollar with rotation. My apologies for not uploading pics in my previous post. I'm going to upload them now. I don't think I can crop all the way to just the coin and still give context regarding the rotation. Thanks for your patience with the new guy, Garey PS Looking for an opinion regarding value?

 to CCF It is hard to tell if there is any rotation on this coin because we don't have a reference point. Try taking another image in front of a mirror and capture both sides at once. |

to the CCF, soitis! Please post a pic of your Franklin half over a mirror as below so that we can judge the rotation. You can prop up the 2X2 with the mirror behind it. It's tricky and frustrating, but essential. France 10 Francs 1951 - 90 degree rotated die  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Yes, use the mirror technique when photographing suspected die rotation issues. Tells the story in an instant.

To CCF! Try taking a picture of your coin in the mirror. That will show if it's rotated or not.  Errers and Varietys.

to the CCF Maybe a little rotated, but not enough to matter. |

 Looks to be just a slight rotation on the strike. |

Thank you all for the warm welcome and the mirror tip! I'm not sure why I've never thought of or heard about it previously but I'll give it a shot. If it truly is rotated, I'll get some more pics uploaded. Thanks again!

Thank you all very kindly!. I did check it in the mirror. It is rotated but only very slightly, maybe a couple of degrees. Certainly not enough to add any value. Take good care, Garey
