canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 10:44 am Still learning, I inherited what I think is around an F12/15 and (according to Saskatoon Coin Club site) is a NF2 obverse 2 dots variety. The coin also has 180 degree die rotation. My searches came up empty. Any resource suggestions for determining variety and die rotation rarity for this year. I'll start posting pic's once I figure that out. Many thanks; Report this Post to the Staff

SP67 Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 11:01 am are you talking about this coin? https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coin...ts-1865-1896 Quick Search shows nothing for the 180 degrees clocking variety. Very interesing . Report this Post to the Staff
canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 11:16 am Yes, exactly except mine is an 1881, condition is about identical to their pic. I actually only noticed the die rotation this morning when I was comparing it to a 1862 New Brunswick 5 cent I have and noticed they were on the same axis. Should have been obvious but I'm still learning. Any help greatly appreciated, Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 11:59 am All 1881 Newfoundland 5cents are OBV2. All have coin alignment the same as Your New Brunswick coin. Your coin is not any variety, just the standard issue. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 02/11/2023 11:59 am Report this Post to the Staff

canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 1:23 pm Ok good to know on the OBV2. Coins and Canada shows the New Brunswick as a reverse die axis and when I spin the coin 180 degrees the reverse is upside down. Coins and Canada show the Newfoundland as standard die axis but when I spin it 180 the reverse is also upside down. Honestly what am I missing here. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 1:51 pm I don't know what reference that you are looking at, but both the Newf and NB Vicky 5 cents are coinage (upside down) orientation. Whichever reference that says that it's medal, they are wrong. In case you are unfamiliar with the terms, medal orientation is up/up or like you are wearing a medal around your neck and it's rightside up regardless how it flips/turns.

canuckelhead Valued Member Canada 54 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 2:59 pm I was not familiar with the technical terms for describing die axis which is why I referenced the New Brunswick coin for comparison. I'm now more familiar with tech terms. My reference is the Coins and Canada website where they describe die axis for Newfoundland coin as two arrows pointing up. Ok just found another site that shows the Newfoundland as a reverse die axis so I guess the Coins and Canada website needs to be corrected. Hey, I had to ask thought I might have had something special. I'll still post pics of both once I figure that out. Thanks for the replies. Report this Post to the Staff
