Is this an error or am I seeing things?

ShanerUT

I love metal detecting and finding all them old coins has got me interested in coin collecting so I am slowly starting to build a collection.
I got this coin today and when I was photographing it I noticed the obverse and reverse seem to be rotated just a little bit, or am I seeing things? Is this common to coins, does it make them more valuable?
I will include a pic, hopefully it will work, my website has been having some problems
Sorry about the large size.




Thanks for your replies.

P.S. how do you put a pic over by your name?

Beautiful picture, great work!

Yes, a very slight rotation. I believe the mint allows for 15 degree rotation in either direction in their specifications, so this is not unusual. A rotation of a severe degree can be more valuable. Some dates tend to have more of them than others. So the value will vary.

To add an icon to your name, go the profile (above the big blue bar) and select one from the list.

I'm sitting here looking at the same kind of coin, (2003 PCGS MS68) , and it is rotated the same way, but in the opposite direction.........Ken
