I found this 1999 American cent and it seems that one side is stamped upside down when compared to other coins. Can't find any info online and even 5ho it's hard to tell from pics I have posted some. Is this coin junk or worth something? *** Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! *** |

No pictures are showing but if
you are comparing it to a Canadian coin,
one side will be upside down. American coins
have one side reading up and the other
side reading down. Now if both sides are
reading the same way, then you have a rare error.

and yes, all of our US Mint coins are that way. Flip a coin, turn a medal. As far as I know that's how the expression goes. |

Welcome to CC! Without pictures we cannot tell anything. The numismatic term for what you've told us would be "rotational error". Make sure you're only comparing your coin to another US coin of the same. You should also check your 1999 cent for a Wide AM. The 1999 WAM variety is quite valuable: http://www.Lincolncentforum.com/290-2/ |

Thank you everyone lol I can't figure out how to upload pics but I did find a few more cents and felt pretty stupid as you are all right. It is not a WAM unfortunately but I have also a 1984 and 1989 if those are of value? And I found a Canada 5 cent from 1926.it is in ever good condition I believe. If anyone wants to see pics of any of these coins please help me to know how as I am using my phone to do so and it's not letting me atm. Thank you all for the reply and the welcomes :) |
