<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 8130028, member: 112"]Here's the thing. With group 1 originals, when the coin is oriented correctly, the O in DOLLAR is supposed to be at 6 o'clock. With group 2 originals, when the coin is oriented correctly, the E in ONE is supposed to be at 6 o'clock. That matches the die orientation when the coins were minted. </p><p><br /></p><p>I understand what you're saying as a way of explaining why somebody is misorienting the True View pics. I can only guess it's basically because they simply don't realize what they are doing when they turn the pics that way. But when push comes to shove, it is coin turn vs medal turn that is the primary determining factor in order to get things depicted as the coin was struck. The slabs prove this to be the case as there is simply no way to orient the pics incorrectly when they are in a slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
