MM shows a definate tilt. Added insert pics of 4 other 55D's picked at random for comparison.

Yep, maybe a little tipsy at the mint?

I think the MM is correct and the rest of the coin is rotated.:crossedlips:

After the discussion of Rotated Revereses ( which Billy quickly pointed out should be refered to as rotated dies ) .... I did a double take on you reply:tinysmile_hmm_t:..

To answer seriously: Yes the Mintmark is rotated, but it is very common and not worth saving.

But LordCo if you do ever find one tilted close to 45degrees or better yet inverted 180 degrees. They are worth something , seriously.

Only costs a penny to keep it. Just in case.

Years ago I used to throw away RPMs because I wanted nicely struck Cents.

True enough, I hadn't thought of it quite that way. Now I'm really starting to regret some of the stuff I already tossed!
