Canucknewbiee New Member Canada 0 Posts	Posted 02/14/2024 8:29 pm I'm new to this forum and new to coins. I've been doing a little research here and there, and I have learned just enough to know that I have come across an unusual US quarter. Just want to know what I'm dealing with. I have a 2012 US Alaska Denali quarter, but the obverse is rotated 180 degrees from the reverse. Can anyone tell me if that is by design? I would show pics, but they show nothing unusual ( according to my untrained eye). So to recap, the obverse is upside down compared to the reverse. Any feedback is appreciated. I'm Canadian, so US money is foreign to me (pun intended lol). Edited by Canucknewbiee 02/14/2024 8:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
