Any ideas would be appreciated [URL="http://s246.photobucket.com/user/stonecypher_photos/media/P4250001_zpsda530306.jpg.html][/URL][URL="http://s246.photobucket.com/user/stonecypher_photos/media/P4250005_zps6b5b391c.jpg.html][/URL][URL="http://s246.photobucket.com/user/stonecypher_photos/media/P4250003_zps060dbda8.jpg.html][/URL] swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 01:03 am not sure if backwards or rotated. I have seen some older coins not with a modern 4, but with a Gothic 4. It almost looked like a table, or an X with line at top. Report this Post to the Staff

Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 04/26/2013 01:15 am could be backwards then. I have seen some "modern" coins with the 8 upside-down. Report this Post to the Staff
