<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 61740, member: 68&quot;]Leadfoot got it right.&nbsp; When a obverse (hammer die) (top or moving die) comes </p><p>loose it will usually settle into a position where it&#039;s almost exactly upside down.&nbsp; </p><p>This is called 180 degree rotation since that&#039;s the total amount it has moved.
