No, that must be an error. Mine is aligned the proper way.

Ya his one is really worn but rotated like 30 some %. Any ideas on a value?

Its rotated about 80 degrees. No date. Only the shield and the 5 are really legible.

80% or 30%? That's a big difference.

80 degrees. It's almost left to right instead of up an down.
