Just to let you know..it's not rotated. That is the correct "alignment" for a Canadian small cent.

fishaddict is right:-) That's the normal alignment for cents from Canada.

Thanks,
Bill

wow, I looked under the Canadian cents website, thought I read it correctly. There were other ones with a rotated die. So, what you are saying is that both sides are in the upwards position? I need to re-read that one again. Thanks

Yes, I did read it wrong...

Prior to 1908 Canadian coins were struck with both major die axis arrangements. In the medal arrangement (designated áá) a coin held vertically between one's fingers with its obverse design right side up finishes with its reverse design right up when it is rotated on its vertical axis. Dies in coinage arrangement (áâ) will result in the reverse being upside down when the coin is turned as previously described. All Canadian coins struck by the Royal Canadian Mint (1908) have been in the medal arrangement (áá).
