<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2632158, member: 1892"]The "accepted use" is to show the reverse as rotated in imaging, with the obverse implied "correctly" straight up and down. As Conder mentioned (I've been interacting with him across multiple fora for more than a decade, and <b>not once</b> have I seen him place a word incorrectly, so when we disagree, he's right <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ), the reverse is probably what was actually rotated anyway. Doesn't matter which face is rotated in truth, we'll never know for sure. So, it's categorized CW or CCW on the reverse's difference from top dead center, and usually "guesstimated" unless you're obsessive enough to slap a protractor template over the pic to know for sure. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Die rotation quite meets the definition of "mint error."
