xhazardous New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 6:52 pm Hello all first post, I am looking for some info on this coin. It's a 1993 US penny and the backside is completely backwards. The camera did not flip it. Does anyone know anything about this? Value, story, etc? Report this Post to the Staff

Adam_E Pillar of the Community United States 4846 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 7:14 pm If you flip a US coin left to right it should be 180* opposite of what was on the other side, are you saying that if you flip it up to down it's 180* opposite? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 07/31/2020 9:11 pm @xh, can you please take and post another pic of that side? Rather than holding it with one hand, set it down on a flat, well-lit surface. That will help us to see what is going on.
