HappyGilmore New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 9:29 pm I have a Canadian dime I got in with my change.... I live in the USA... I was studying this dime and found something a lil peculiar so I have a question about a process in the way the dime in question is minted... First here are the specs for the dime in question: Specifications - 10 cents 2000 Alloy: 100% nickel Weight: 2.07 grams Diameter : 18.03 mm, thickness: 1.25 mm Engraver: Obverse: Dora de P#65533;dery-Hunt, Ago Aarand, Reverse: Emanuel Hahn Designer: Obverse: Dora de P#65533;dery-Hunt, Ago Aarand, Reverse: Emanuel Hahn Edge: Reeded Magnetism: Magnetic Die axis: #8593;#8593; According to specs the way the die is minted the die axis says double arrows upwards..... Question is: Are 2000 Canadian dimes minted similar to United states dimes when it comes to how the images on the front and reverse are stamped into the metal during the minting process;- meaning if you hold the coin with the Queens head oriented upwards and flip the dime from North to South the Blue schooner on the reverse side should be oriented upwards or upside down?

HappyGilmore New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 08/07/2016 9:47 pm So when flipped in a North to south rotation the Bluenose Schooner will be facing upside down.... Thank you for your time. Report this Post to the Staff
