Erby New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 12/30/2023 10:52 pm I just found this quarter in my quarter jar--it is a 1992 180 and I have searched the web for hours trying to get some info on it. Can anyone help me out? It is a Canadian British Columbia coin. Edited by Erby 12/30/2023 10:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 12:18 am I assume you're saying you have a coin rotated 180 degrees. What exactly is your question? I already know everyone here will ask for pictures. If not familiar use a mirror to show both sides of the quarter in the same photo. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 01:23 am Did you know that all Canadian coins since 1908 are rotated compared to US coins. Yours are coin alignment, ours are medal alignment. Your quarter is normal. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 12/31/2023 01:26 am Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 01/01/2024 1:36 pm I use Numista to look up things like this. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces363.html It shows "Orientation Medal alignment [two up arrows]" which answers your question. Numista also shows thickness in addition to weight and diameter, info most other sites don't include. I think world-wide, medal alignment is more common than coin alignment.

The United States is one of the few remaining countries to continue to use coin alignment. There used to be a few in Europe (most notably France), but when those countries switched to the euro, their coins switched to medal alignment, as that what was designated as the euro standard. So in that sense, this Canadian coin is "normal", it's American coins that are weird and "upside-down". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
