I found this rotated die tonight. I put it in the flip so the pics will show by how much cause I'm not sure. If I had to guess I'd say maybe 20 to 30 degrees? I found it interesting to findI cant get out of the house right now with this fractured foot/leg so no bricks for a while. I just keep going through my coins here at the house lol

169 deg CCW or 191 deg. CW ?
I'm not sure which is the correct way of stating it.
I wasn't able to upload an image to the LCF today, so the following LINK illustrates my thoughts here.

I would think it is 11 deg cw from where it should be considering Lincoln's Cents are struck in a "coin turn" patern ( obv and rev are vertically opposite) and not in "medal turn" pattern (obv and rev are in the same vertical position). However, I don't know is there is a system already in place to indicate the angle using zero or 180 as the reference.

Depending on how the coin in this post is flipped (side to side or up to down) matters for the photo.
(thats why Silver1985 and Coin5 are getting different answers, you never say how you rotated for the photo)
It's above 15 degrees which is the minimum to get any attention/premium even slight. Or more if it was photoed flipped the other way.Last edited by GrumpyEd; 12-01-2018 at 11:34 AM.

Take an image with a mirror to show both sides at the same time so you don't have to define or confuse others by the flip
Even a fool can look wise if he keeps his mouth closed.

With that in mind without being too scientific your first guess was probably in the ballpark. Originally Posted by Dearing

I think that's the way it should be flipped up and down (coin turn) so the reverse does not appear upside down. Originally Posted by Dearing
