Would it be possible to add an additional option of "irregular" to the alignment choices when entering coins to the catalog? I have been adding several tokens and they often are neither "coin" or "medal" alignment. (The obverse and reverse do not line up) It seems incorrect to leave "unknown" as this indicates the person entering the coin does not know but often they are not close to either of the other two choices.

Yes, to be able to indicate die rotation would be wonderful. Much better than just saying "irregular," but I felt it would be an easy addition.
