Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 05:58 am looks like your first mirror picture shows that it has the correct alignment, coin alignment or coin orientation. Quote: Coin Orientation When the rotation axis of the two dies of a coin is 180 degrees. That is, when a coin's obverse is facing the viewer "right way up" and the coin is held at top and bottom and turned over, the reverse now appears "upside down". The opposite is "medal orientation".

Maxxx54 New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 06:19 am Many thanks for reply. I'm not very knowledgeable in numismatist and thought that all coins should have "medal orientation" as you call it. Sorry fro bothering. Best regards Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 06:34 am its not a problem. The US uses coin orientation, however many other countries use medal orientation. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 07:56 am I quickly made the following pictures. I may upgrade them later. When looking at a coin with a mirror. This is the Coin Orientation used in the US. This is the Medal Orientation used in the UK. Edited by Fuzzy317 01/28/2013 07:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
Maxxx54 New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 07:57 am It is a good way if you have lots of similar coins or at least you are in the country where this type of coin was made....unfortunately I am not in any of these situation. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
