2006 P Breast Cancer Quarter Ribbon Position?

up and down

good point

I only have one of them on hand so nothing to compare it to, so thanks for your input!!

Thanks a lot for the time you took to check out your own coins and get back to me, Marc. Strange how they would be so haphazard about positioning, isn't it? Would be interesting to find out the explanation about why so haphazard anyways!

Weird :D Makes me wonder if all of the other colourized coins are random positioned as well, or is this just a quirk of the Pink Ribbon ones. This quarter is the only colourized one I have and I don't know what other colorized coins the mint did (Although I used to have an unopened roll of Poppy quarters from when they were first issued and I passed them on though, now I wish I hadn't :D )

Thanks Crychopaul. I actually have a little round magnet and these quarters stick so I just pick it up on the edge and turn the whole thing over to see how the obverse and reverse sit in relation to each other.

Magnets sure come in handy for those magnetic coins :)

I do have the proper Queen's obverse and on the reverse the ribbon sits sideways across the coin, rather than up/down.

Any ribbon symbols I've seen, in general and not just on coins, show as having the loop at top and loose ends at bottom as the proper viewing position, so that's why I was surprized to see a sidewise one on a coin and wondered if it was a mistake. But, by all the feedback from others I see that the position of the ribbon on these Breast Cancer coins can point any old which way "as is normal for these particular coins"

Hi Stewie,

I checked out your Poppy quarters and saw haphazard.

I just looked at the Breast Cancer coin again and see that on the reverse by the bottom "CANADA" is a "CS" at the end of CANADA, between the "A" and the engraved ribbon (artist initials probably?) and those initials only stamped the one spot, and am wondering if the initials position is always supposed to be the bottom of the reverse (as the Queens neck is the bottom of the obverse)

Can someone have a look at their pink ribbon coins and tell me if those initials are positioned at bottom, basically right behind the "E" of ELIZABETH.

I'm curious to find out if there is a definate up and down to both obverse/reverse design (and just the coloured images parts themselves are haphazard)

Thanks :)

Dottir.
