Just a general question. I'm not too familiar with US coins. Are Lincoln wheat cents usually struck so that the obverse and reverse are oriented up, or one up and one down?

Thanks!

As far as I know all US coins are minted in "coin" orientation (up-down when flipped sideways). Canadian coins are in "medal" orientation (up-up when flipped sideways).

All US coins are minted this way. When you find ones that have a 180 degree rotation, you have what is referred to as a "medallic strike". These can be considered an error in the minting process, and depending on the interest to error collectors, might bring a slight premium.

I found an 1897 Indian Head cent at a dealer last week that featured this and paid 3 dollars for it in good condition.
