<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1920000, member: 19463&quot;]Hold the coin with obverse forward with one finger at the top and the thumb at the bottom.&nbsp; Spin the coin around so you see the reverse.&nbsp; The hour number is read according to where the top of the design is on a clock face.&nbsp; Medal axis (12H) coins have the top in the same place at the top.&nbsp; Coin axis (6H) will have the reverse top pointing down.&nbsp; Other coins, including very many Greek silvers, will show the top pointing right (3H) or left (9H).&nbsp; Coins that fall in the spaces can be coded, for example, 1H for almost upright but tilted a bit to the right or 5H for almost upside down but a little right of straight down.&nbsp; The advantage of this system is that it can be coded using very few characters and does not require arrows not part of a normal typewriter set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
