<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 139664, member: 1242&quot;]Michael,</p><p><br /></p><p>You can determine the degree of rotation by creating a gauge of sorts! Take a pieice of clear plastic such as one side of a document protector and draw an outline of the coin or similar sized coin on it, now draw a line running North to South and another West to East through the center of the outline, then draw lines between these lines to create a template with 8 degrees of the Compass on it. Make sure that you extend all of the lines beyond the outer perimeter of the outline. You can then label each one starting at North and going around the the entire outline Clockwise (i.e. 0 or 360 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 135 degrees, 180 degrees, 135 degrees, 90 degrees and 45 degrees). You never use any degree higher than 180 degrees as the opposite side of the coin is either rotated Clockwise or CounterClockwise 0 through 180 degrees but never beyond 180 degrees. As an example, the opposite side (usually reference to the Reverse) of one coin may be rotated 120 degrees Clockwise while another is rotated 120 degrees CounterClockwise. Likewise, one coin may be rotated 90 degrees CounterClockwise while another is rotated 170 degrees Clockwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>You then take the coin and line up the correct upright position top of the coin with South (180 degrees) and the bottom with North (0 or 360 degrees). Now look at the Reverse side of the coin and note where the upright position falls in respect to the labelled lines (either to the left or to the right) and that is the degree of rotation, Clockwise or CounterClockwise.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck...Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
