<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3199724, member: 19463&quot;]The answers above are not in keeping with my personal observation but I have not done a scientific study.&nbsp; I agree with you that most are 270 or 90 which I would call 9 or 3 o&#039;clock (9H or 3H).&nbsp; I would be less concerned about 2H or 8H (sloppy workmanship) than 12H or 6H but that does not mean they don&#039;t exist.&nbsp; They made those things for many years with many workers under many bosses.&nbsp; Die axis was not their prime consideration.&nbsp; You don&#039;t use something like this alone to accept or doubt a coin but you should note all things about a coin that make it seem odd.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For the record, most of my obols are 6H.&nbsp; I have no idea why a mint did things the way they did but it is something to study.&nbsp; There are some coins that are consistent to the point I might doubt a coin that was &#039;wrong&#039;.&nbsp; This is not one I know of to be that way.&nbsp; From memory, the later &#039;New Style&#039; tets are consistently 12H.&nbsp; Am I wrong?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
