Mexico 20 Centavos 1907 - Straight 7: Mexico City Mint.  Mexico 20 Centavos 1907 - Curved 7: New Orleans Mint. Note: this was the only time coins were minted in New Orleans for a foreign government.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I don't have a corresponding normal coin but here is a Brazil `10 centavos 1994 where the date partially appears abpve the head on the obverse as well as in the normal place on the reverse.   It's now cited in Numista - https://en.numista.com/2822, and the variety itself os lower down the page. |

@Pertinax: That looks like a die clash to me (or maybe a vise job), Notice that it is raised and upside down and backwards. not an intentional alteration of a coin done at the mint. Older Belgian coins are a great example where they mint a coin with French text and another with Belgian text on the same year coin issues. The following quote is taken from page 1: Quote:Quote:
How little of a change are you looking for Trig? Anything Keith, as long as it's a distinctly different coin, not an error. |

@Dearborn
If it is a die clash (and I'm not saying it isn't), how is it there are at least 2 specimens with the 1994 date, and at least 1 with the dates 1995, 1996, 1997?

Well, I would like to see the other example that you say are the same, to see if there is something else going on. But while I'm looking to other examples you listed, I would like to know why a Mint would place upside down and backwards numbers on a coin. Do you have any idea for that? cause I sure don't  Here is a 'normal' one on Numista: https://en.numista.com/2822 |
