Trapperyt New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 05/04/2015 03:56 am Can someone help with 1907 nickel question? I have a 1907 Canadian nickel. The obverse and reverse sides of the coins are opposite to each other. (One is 'right side up' where the other is 'upside down.' I thought perhaps it was an error until I found a website describing 1907 Canadian nickles where: 'The die axis was 180 degrees, which is called coinage alignment." Does this description fit my coin? Or, is it truly an error coin? Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff

"Medal orientation" is when the two sides are up-up, like today's Canadian coins. In 1907 they were using coinage orientation. According to C&C this is the last year for this orientation in denominations 5-cent and larger. Canadian (excluding 1858-9) pennies have always been medal orientation. It's only been 2 days and I'm already regretting not bringing any reference book home and having to rely on C&C. Report this Post to the Staff
