Your picture is a bit blurry in this area, are they by chance damaged? Edited by dave700x 09/06/2013 7:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

I would say it's a counterfeit. Edited by Canadian-Banknotes 09/06/2013 8:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

FadeToBlack Pillar of the Community 1751 Posts	Posted 09/07/2013 12:31 am Found this on coinfacts; Die rotation: Specimens of VAM-5 are occasionally seen with the reverse misaligned from 26° to 90° clockwise from normal. Examples are known in Mint State. According to the 3rd edition of the Van Allen-Mallis text, 1878-CC the only Carson City dollar issue known struck from a rotated die. It's a counterfeit.
