I have been given a ten dollar gold Eagle of 1893 and noticed that the two faces are inverted. Can anyone tell me if this is normal in such a coin? By inverted, I mean that if you look at the Liberty Head side normally, and then rotate the coin laterally, the Eagle is upside down.

Unless someone tells me wrong, I believe that's normal for an American coin, it's called "coin axis" die alignment. Other countries, such as Canada normally use the "medal axis" alignment which means rotating a coin with an upright obverse reveals the reverse in upright alignment.

his post does have lower case letters, just a much larger font. Do you mean that people need to post in small font size, or else it is considered yelling? just curious.

thanks,
John
