Concur ... 1937 Roanoke Island Anniversary (350th) Half Dollar .. The ship appears on the reverse of the coin symmetrical to the portrait image of Ellinor Dare and her baby. My lovely PCGS G06 example ..  David

That's why I put the question mark... If it's Wisconsin ore, it's upside down.

Concur with 1936 Wisconsin Territorial Centennial Half Dollar ... and the image shown is indeed upside down relative to how we normally view the coin. My PCGS VF30 example:  David

Concur with 1925 Norse Medal ... issued as both 'thick' and 'thin' varieties. I've often considered this the 51st type coin for the classic silver commemorative set ... designed by the master James Earl Fraser. The image angle is again a bit tricky ... inverted from how we normally view the coin. My lovely lowball (thick) example ... PCGS lowball top-pop. Amazing that any pocket piece can be this worn out! 1925 Norse Medal (Thick) PCGS FR02 David
