I sent a few of these away to be graded and have noticed this one is slightly rotated.

Cool Trout. I've had the 2005's at around 14 deg or so upset.
The obverse in your slab looks a tiny bit off straight which is adding to the rotated appearance on the reverse (but it's still rotated all the same).
PS: Is that some doubling down the edge of the Queen's forehead and nose?
Not sure what that is ?

Great photos Trout!
I'd call it doubling. (But that's just me ..... and you know what Unicorns are like :angel: ).
Looks like doubling to me too (and I'm not a Unicorn ... I think)

Yup. The usual flat doubling we get on her face. Not real uncommon.

I tend to think that this effect is found on most well struck 25mm Dollar coins :angel:

Not sure I'd call loose dies 'well struck', somehow. :diablo:

I never said this was "Doubling" :ok:
Here is a 2004 Wedding Set $1 coin and it has a more pronounced effect due to the increased pressure applied when these types of coins were struck.
Definitely NOT doubling merely a great strike :)
What we are seeing here is the reflection from the metal where the design meets the fields.

Not at all what it looks like in the pics. Try a shot at an angle, lifting the right side of the coin say 10° or so.

I think that dollar has a wee bit of doubling just on the nose.
Looking at the pics of it here and in the PCGS thread (http://www.australian-coins.net/showthread.php?tid=1976&page=79) it looks to have it. The $2 also looks to have a tiny bit, whereas the 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c show none. (The 10c on the reverse looks to have quite a bit on the 1 and 0 though). But then again ...... it might be just me ...... :laugh2:
I think it is just the way the light reflects from the join of the fields and the design.
The Wedding set coins are buggers to get a decent image of.
look at this disastrous attempt by PCGS
