have you ever seen a coin with the seated liberty and the pole and cap on the right arm instead of left?

I can think of some possibilities. There are foreign coins like you describe, there are pattern US coins like you describe, there are a lot of Chinese countefeits of US patterns like you describe etc. Need to see pictures to tell you what you have,

It would be a one-in-a-million chance, but if a "brockage" error occurs during the coining process a struck coin stays on the die and is punched into the next blank planchet. This generates a negative-relief, mirror-image of the normal design on that planchet. If this were to happen for a Seated Liberty coin (obverse design) the pole would appear over the opposite arm.

I've never seen an example of a Seated Liberty brockage but they are well known for U.S. large cents.

That would be a really valuable error coin. Like everyone else said, we want pictures!
