[QUOTE="justafarmer, post: 3034376, member: 3926"]When I did the original overlays - I used the middle image in the 2nd row (2-2) for both the obverse and reverse. This is the orientation of the sources images from which the CAD renderings were created. The images you selected for the obverse (1-1, 2-1) have a .5 degree spread in rotation. With the largest rotation difference of 2 degrees between yours and mine. For the reverse - one of the images you selected is the same image I originally used (2-2). The other image (1-3) has a 1 degree rotation difference. There is a reverse image with only a .5 degree rotation difference from image (2-2) rotated in the same direction as image (1-3). Point being due to the fact coin designs are circular in nature as opposed to linear determining the 12:00 o'clock position begins with a guess. Anyway putting everything back together - using the images you selected that produces the greatest rotation (1-1 obverse, 1-3 reverse) - the results were as follows.
