Which way up is the wrong way if this is the case? I've seen various reports for both sides of the argument (that there is/isn't a wrong way up)... what do you think? Thanks!

So I do not know how that would increase the value. Report this Post to the Staff
PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 04/07/2018 03:41 am Welcome to CCF There is no right or wrong way up at all. All the hype on ebay and other sites is just people trying to justify ridiculous prices for common coins and so make a profit. The nature of the manufacturing process means the mint has no control over which way up the flan is when presented for minting, and so, on average, there will be about half of each.
