Groszy Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 4:15 pm It's the same die orientation that is used on all US coins, it is not limited to the Seated Liberty dimes. As far as I know, the only exceptions to this are die orientation errors...I don't know of a single US issue that was intended to have medal alignment, but I could be mistaken.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 6:38 pm For clarification purposes, all US coins are made so that when you turn them over, top to bottom, they are still upright. In many other countries and with many tokens, coins are made so that you have to turn them left to right, or right to left, so that they will still be face up. Report this Post to the Staff
