lol. I wonder if the seller flipped the image on purpose to get people to look or if it was just an accident and oversight?

Yeah, I agree it's a mirrored image. The guy probably didn't know that he did it. I mean I don't think he would mess with the image because he has a 100% feedback. It was probably an honest mistake.

Has to be a mirror image. Can't really see anyone minting a silver dollar like that unless it was a fake.

I contacted the seller. He said it had something to do with his scanner.

It's a little known rarity - - the 1883CC dyslexic strike.

It sure got your attention! I'm sure that is what the seller was after.

Here is a copy of his email;

Chris,

Thanks for pointing that out. It's actually just something our scanner did, the eagle is normal on all of them. Hope this helps.

Thanks,

James

Wonder why his scanner didn't do a reverse image on the obverse of the coin?
