Entrepid New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 08/12/2020 11:24 pm I found an 1874 quarter with an upside down obverse. It's not in great shape but was wondering if this is a common error? Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community United States 3132 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 08:19 am It's normal for "coinage" alignment (up/down) Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 35486 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 09:59 am Quote: It's normal for "coinage" alignment (up/down) Depends on how a person flips it,side to side or top to bottom. If you post a pic using the mirror methode, we will know for sure what you have. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 5+ Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community United States 3132 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 12:54 pm Wow, you just won a gold medal and it hanging around your neck. You want everyone to see either side of it right side up without flipping ... that's a medal alignment and how it got its name. Report this Post to the Staff
Entrepid New Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 7:59 pm Here's a photo. My other coins are generally newer and so this one appears to be upside down, but perhaps they used to be minted this way? Report this Post to the Staff
silverwolf Pillar of the Community Canada 3051 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 8:16 pm yes, they were minted that way.. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 8090 Posts	Posted 08/13/2020 11:50 pm All Canadian silver coins were struck with this alignment up through 1907. In 1908, coincidental with the opening of the Canadian mint, all coins were struck with "medal" alignment and have been so ever since. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
