[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3470061, member: 99642"]From what I can tell, it doesn't appear to be rotated at all. I call this type of error "non-alignment" and I have literally dozens of them, almost all of them Lincoln cents. Some more out of alignment than others. My first find was because the alignment was so out of whack that it was noticeable as soon as the coin was turned over. I used to check EVERY cent for this and the way I did it was to align the bottom edge of the motto IN GOD WE TRUST and the bottom edge of the date, parallel to the bottom edge of a penny 2x2 cardboard flip, close the flip, hold the penny tight and turn it over. Voila ! Either it is or it isn't. If it was just a little or not at all, I tossed it back. If it was enough to be really noticeable, I kept it. Like I say, I have dozens. Sadly, none so out of alignment that they have a premium.[/QUOTE]
