cookiecutter Valued Member Canada 292 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 10:37 am I'm not sure what this is. I think it may be a 1906 quarter. If I take the reverse side and view it with the laurel on the bottom (instead of the picture where the laurel is on the top), it looks like a quarter. However, if the laurel is on the bottom, when I flip the coin, the obverse portrait is upside down? Does anybody know if this is the case? Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

When Ottawa started making them in 1908, they changed to medal alignment (360). http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.
