Is this a keeper?

How do we know from only one side?

All I can see from that pic is a filled 5.

I can see what looks to be a misaligned die with the wide rim from 10 though to 1 o'clock.

Is the edge/side of the coin normal Mr T?

The other side is aligned with the paper.
The 5 isn't filled though, that's probably just a result of a not-so-good photo.

Yeah, the edge all normal.

So its within tolerance. +/- 5° IIRC
