1852 large cent reverse misaligned

If you're referring to the rim between 8 & 10 o'clock, or so, it is so minor that it wouldn't be worth mentioning it.

No I was referring to how the reverse is off center. The obverse is centered then you flip the coin over the reverse is sitting at the 11 o'clock position.

 

That would be called a "rotation" error, not an off-center error.

Please, would you mind posting obverse and reverse images of the entire 2x2, flipping the 2x2 east/west rather than north/south?

Hopefully this helps thanks.

 

Is this the correct orientation you were looking for?

 

I think so, but it would have been easier to tell if you had marked along the edge in the same position on both sides.

You see, US coins are struck in "coin turn" which means that when the obverse is "right side up", the reverse is "upside down". So, I'm trying to use the staples to visualize the positions as they should be.

It appears that the reverse of your coin is rotated about 15 degrees which is within the Mint tolerance.
