soitis New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/23/2024 8:55 pm 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? Edited by soitis 07/23/2024 9:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 95443 Posts	Posted 07/23/2024 9:22 pm 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. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

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.

soitis New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/24/2024 8:17 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff
soitis New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 07/26/2024 1:38 pm 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 Report this Post to the Staff
