JamesP New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 11/11/2023 2:55 pm Hello everyone, I was given these coins today and while looking at the coins found a 1965 dime but it seems to have a full 180 rotation error. Can someone confirm if this is normal or something worth keeping a hold of? Report this Post to the Staff

JamesP New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 11/11/2023 3:20 pm Thank you both, From the UK and these are the first US coins I have seen. I wonder why they do this as opposed to non-flipped. Report this Post to the Staff

No one is on the wrong side of the street. UK strike coins hundreds of years before US and for those times was much more easier to align the Dies. Also they strike many medals so from this is come the orientation name Medals. Us Mint decide to strike what we know today Coin Orientation which I believe was for theirs conveniences. US coins and the UK coins are not an international standard. Countries choise as per own conveniences. Report this Post to the Staff
