It helps to cover up one picture while looking at the other, at least for me they both look wrong when looking at them at the same time. The second one looks &quot;right&quot; to me when looking at it by itself. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1248102[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there some rule of thumb for how to align the bust of a person on coin? </p><p><br /></p><p>I think this was less than 10 degrees of rotation but it makes a big difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>What say you?</p><p><br /></p><p>John[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
