starseed2778 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 3:37 pm Hello, new to the forum, though I've been a coin hound my whole life! Just started to search for error coins, and came across a canadian penny that both the obverse and reverse of the coin are upright...or, I'm having a hard time describing what I mean...you know when you flip a coin over and the other side is upside down? Well, I found a 1973 canadian penny where that is not thw case...is this making sense? I hope so. My question is this normal for canadian coins? It's the only one I have, so no reference point...so, would it be considered an error coin? Thanks so much! Report this Post to the Staff

US coins have "coin alignment" while Canada uses "medal alignment."

johnnysprawl Pillar of the Community Canada 1013 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 4:40 pm Recent meaning 1908 and newer :) Report this Post to the Staff
EastVanRob Pillar of the Community Canada 611 Posts	Posted 12/01/2020 6:24 pm To summarize, US coins have "coinage" alignment - heads up, tails down. Canadian coins (since 1908) have "medal" alignment - heads up, tails up. If the 1973 Canadian coin had the same alignment as a US coin, then it would be an error. Report this Post to the Staff
