[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2628121, member: 24633"]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. Chris[/QUOTE]
