  I assume you mean as one of the diagnostics to identify genuine 1804 large cents.
  To add, this will help ID those fakes from an altered date - certainly die struck or casts etc made from a genuine '04 couldn't use this diagnostic.
  I'm not smart enough or skilled enough to rely on this myself....that's why I bought one in a holder. But it does line up on mine - as the reverse is rotated sufficiently to do this. But I don't know if all of them have this same rotation.

  Yes, the "0" or the "4?" I think it is the "0" but I'm having a brain fart and cannot remember for sure or find the answer on line! today!

  BTW Your contest prize is in the mail.
