LazyGuy New Member United Kingdom 1 Posts	Posted 07/08/2023 3:02 pm Im new to this stuff but I believe I've got a near perfect 180 degree rotation on my quarter. Please tell me if I'm just an idiot but I couldn't find any other similar coins to mine. Report this Post to the Staff

Second, could it be that for US coins, the orientation is different compared to the coins from most other countries (including the UK)? Maybe compare this with another US quarter.

Here we use what is called a "Coin turn" or alignment, While U.K. coins ( and U.S. medals are struck as "Medal Turn" or alignment. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 1:20 pm US coins use what's called "coin" alignment, where the obverse and reverse are rotated 180 degrees (i.e. flipping it sideways will cause one side to be upside down, but flipping it end over end will have both sides right side up). If your coin has both sides facing opposite directions when flipped end over end and the same way when flipped side to side, then you have a genuine rotated dies error. Otherwise, you do not.
