<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fred Weinberg, post: 3744095, member: 86437&quot;]Pete, I have photos I took at the Phllly Mint that have signs on the</p><p>presses saying that the allowable rotation is 27 degrees, which isn&#039;t much.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure where that person at the Mint&nbsp; got that info of +-3, or +- 6, </p><p>but imo, it&#039;s very difficult&nbsp; to determine only 3 or 6 degrees of rotation on a coin, imo.</p><p><font size="3">Yes, I realize it&#039;s from the Mint, but it doesn&#039;t make sense to me.</font></p><p><br /></p><p>A 45 degree rotation&nbsp; means the top of the reverse of the coin would </p><p>point to either 1:30 or 10:30 (if it&#039;s a CCW rotation).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A 27 degree rotation would have the top of the reverse of the coin pointing</p><p>to about 12:45,12:50.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>3 degrees is about 10% of that - a very very slight rotation; and many US</p><p>coins are rotated more than 3 to 5%, imo - both type coins and modern issues.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my observations........[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
