<p>[QUOTE=&quot;foundinrolls, post: 109008, member: 4350&quot;]Hi,</p><p>Rotated dies are not unheard of on older Lincoln cents the first thing to do though is to be truly sure it is rotated.&nbsp; This one looks like it could be slightly rotated. Try this. Carefully hold the cent in your hand, by the edge by using your thumb and forefinger.&nbsp; With the edge by the top of Lincoln&#039;s head touching your forefinger and the edge by the bottom of the bust against your thumb, try to spin the coin between your fingers without changing it&#039;s position.&nbsp; If Lincoln was straight up when you started, after you spin the coin,</p><p>The reverse should be positioned perfectly upside down.&nbsp; That is called a normal &quot;Coin orientation&quot; with respect to the strike. That is normal.&nbsp; Let me know how that comes out after you do it a few times. If the coin is still out of line, let me know.&nbsp; It is tough to guess on die rotation from pictures because everything depends on the coin being turned over perfectly without rotating it during that process.</p><p>Let me know how it turns out,</p><p>Bill[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
