[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 7861024, member: 99642"]To determine rotation on a LMC or wheatie, I align the top of the motto and the top of the date, parallel to the bottom or top of the flip [I]as I put it in the flip. [/I]Then I can turn it over and easily recognize any deviation from proper alignment. I have actually gone through piles of pennies looking for non-aligned (NA) coins. I simply put them in a flip as I described, turn them over, check them, keep the NAs and put the others in the "discard" pile. With practice, it can go pretty fast. I keep my loose coins in a large Coffee-Mate tub and have one about 1/3 full of NAs. Most of mine are not rotated enough to have a premium. The very first NA I found was because it was so noticeable as I turned the coin over. I'm still looking for one that is rotated 180 degrees or better.[/QUOTE]
