This was a recent show purchase. As I was cataloguing it, I noticed it has medal alignment whereas it should have coin alignment...

Is this truly a 180° rotation error, or was this a typical occurrence for the type? Mirror pic included for reference.

There is a similar coin for sale on ebay (1815, not 1820) that also appears to be medal aligned. Check it out: the item number is 880015627953.

Hmm... Interesting, it does appear so, but no mention of it in the listing. Thanks for that link

Thank you, Errers!

There's actually a picture of an NGC slabbed 1817 on that numista page, also medal alignment, that has me thinking maybe Numista's page is wrong... 3 for 3 verifiable examples from this thread and links are now medal alignment
