There is an easy way to determine Die Rotation if the coin is in a 2x2 but it would be somewhat harder having the coin in a slab. I take a thin piece of clear plastic such as a Document Protector and draw a Degree or Compass Rose on it. I begin with the North thru South lines, East thru West lines and include the line for the split at 45 degrees to 225 degrees and 135 degrees to 315 degrees. Next, I draw North thru South and East thru West lines on the 2x2 Obverse side in relation to the coin's orientation then do the same on the Reverse side of the 2x2. Now lay the 2x2'd coin on top of the thin piece of clear plastic, lining up the North thru South and East thru West lines on the 2x2 with the same on the plastic. You can then either tape the 2x2 to the plastic or hold it very securely and turn the plastic over with the 2x2'd coin attached and see how far the North thru South and East thru West lines on the Reverse side of the 2x2 are off from the same on the plastic. This will give you a very good indicator of how far off the Reverse is from the Obverse in degree rotation.

Jazz,
Maybe because I am cheap! Why pay for something that I can make myself!
