Is there a way to make sure? The one under the loop is how it looks on that side having the coin straight. Thanks

    Draw a straight line on a peice of paper across lincolns head and flip it over to the left or right and see if it is parralell to your line

    Stick the coin on clay and put it in front of the mirror.

    Put it in a 2x2 flip

    I was going to say "file a small notch at the top of Lincoln's head", but this is a much better answer.

    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Neither coin reaches 15 degrees of rotation, well within mint tolerances.

    Thanks much for the post, at least I found a way to show it decently lol. I have a few more that seem rotated maybe all within mint tolerances. Will see.

    As already said, a 2*2 flip does the job quite well.
    The mirror adds a different perspective.

    It's a spender as it's within tolerance for rotation.
