Hi everyone,
Thanks for having me. I recently discovered a 1920 dime s in an old family jewellery box. Oddity is the reverse has a die mistake and is rotated 170-180 degrees from the front. In my words, it's upside down on reverse. Have trawled internet and this seems undocumented. I'm in Scotland and would appreciate advice on next steps. Coin condition seems pretty good to me in that I can see all the detailing on pillars etc

Struggling to upload photos to this post as it's saying photos need to be under 300kb and phone not giving me option.

Very excited about my find and looking for next steps. Thanks

Photos would be good to see. On US coinage, the reverse is 180 out from the obverse.

We will gladly help you, but we will need images first. We are locking this topic to prevent posts with "We need images". You will get many more quality responses when there are quality images in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you are able to upload pictures. If needed you can use the testing forum. Tutorials are below.

Note: When you start a new topic this one may be removed. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed it's only this one.

PC: We highly recommend IrfanView. (Download) (Irfanview Tutorial)

Apple Computers: Tutorial here: http://goccf.com/t/466343

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.

Please post up an image of your coin.
However seeing how you are from the UK and are used to seeing coins with a 'medal turn', you may not be aware that in the US our coins are 'coin turn'
