Bunter New Member Malaysia 4 Posts	Posted 03/26/2008 11:45 pm I have been given a ten dollar gold Eagle of 1893 and noticed that the two faces are inverted. Can anyone tell me if this is normal in such a coin? By inverted, I mean that if you look at the Liberty Head side normally, and then rotate the coin laterally, the Eagle is upside down. *Edited by Forum Dad to remove yelling* Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 03/27/2008 12:04 am Unless someone tells me wrong, I believe that's normal for an American coin, it's called "coin axis" die alignment. Other countries, such as Canada normally use the "medal axis" alignment which means rotating a coin with an upright obverse reveals the reverse in upright alignment. Report this Post to the Staff
