<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 24792065, member: 19165&quot;]For the obverse, I don&#039;t really have a set standard - but I try and make Lady Liberty look in a natural position. The problem with aligning to the date is that the digits were hand-punched, so if I&#039;m flipping through pictures the bust is going to rock back and forth. I don&#039;t like that. </p><p><br /></p><p>For the reverse, I always align the horizontals on the shield to be horizontal. Again, trying to align to the denomination will lead to a dizzying array of orientations, since none of them are identical. Aligning to the shield means that all of the lettering will vary - but the main, central element always looks the same. I just find this to be more pleasing when looking at a set (such as in the Registry).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1586098[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1586097[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
