<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 432232, member: 12965"]You need to remember that the "MIRROR RULE" applies to US coinage.

But like I said, they may not be but I find it interesting that they correspond properly for it to be an offset reverse. Also. I know I said 90 degrees but that was a rough estimate but like my pics show, it would be close to 90 degrees (I used a straight edge and dotted the edge of the straightedge).</p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
