Are all Walking Liberties Reverses Supposed to be upside down?

Discussion in 'Error Coins' started by Jesse Gillispie, Apr 13, 2018.

  1. Hi all, its me again the noob that gets lucky every once in a while due to being in a town with little coin collecting competition but I needed to ask a serious question. I have searched for this answer for bout three day and all that I see is that the turn orientation on the reverse is always going to be the opposite of the obverse of the coin. Basically upside down. I recently purchased a Walking Liberty Bullion coin from the year 2000 and Im very confused to why the reverse is right side up as the obverse. Is it possible they made a special edition that year for the new millinium and its just made that way or is it actually an error. On top of that every where I look I cant seem to find the reverse of the coin that I have anywhere.....So I also weighed it and in its case it weighs 37 grams looks like its an MS-70 and will absolutely blind you in the sun. But I know you all love pic's but before I do post any If its ok with everyone I woukd like to hear some opinions on the turn orientation. I started out thinking I bought something of norml value now Im thinking it might be slightly more value. Usually, I dont get my hopes up but since I am having a hard time finding another one on the net, ebay/everywhere I look, its been kind of hard not to slightly dream over the past few days of actually getting a good deal for once. I even slowed down on my research today because I know im going to be dissappointed. Its a 2000 have no idea what mint and the back is not the normal eagle. Thanks in advance I will be back on in the morning to read and post pics.

    Could be because it is bullion? Can you post a picture with the bullion reverse reflecting off a mirror?

    Are you talking about a 2000 American Silver Eagle 1 ounce silver bullion coin, possibly a Proof version ?

    Can you provide pictures. Verbal descriptions are good for those describing it. Good, clear pictures are worth a thousand words in any language.

    37 grams is 1.3 ounces. So not sure what you are describing here. Pictures ?

    It sounds like it may be a non-US mint silver Round.

    It is probably a silver round, or a medal. The rule of thumb is that your spin a medal and flip a coin.
     
  7. Sorry I meant to be more clear on the weight its in a clear case as well and where its MS-70 im afraid to pull ot out of the case for weight but I'm going to update with pics.

    This is getting silly. You're asking us to make guesses about something you are describing in vague terms. Just post pictures of the obverse and reverse and I'm certain someone will be able to tell you what it is.

    I have car made in 2000. The paint is very nice. It has 4 wheels and a steering wheel. How much is it worth ?

    kinda vague isn't it. I don't even say what kind of car; mileage; does it run; was it crashed; etc?

    that's the scenario you are asking us to reply to.

    If it's in a plastic slab or whatever also take a picture of ANY verbage and the entire plastic thing; front, rear and even the sides if you want to.

    Pics or it didn't happen. Most likely didn't happen anyways. Probably a silver round vice ASE.

    Most coins the reverse is upside down from the obverse.
    But on "medal" orientation both sides are the same.
    A US coin that has the same orientation on both sides would be a (180 degree?)
    die rotation, which would be nice. I assume your "coin" is that way intentionally.

    Well, that is true for US coins. It all depends on the country. Germany, for example, has medal alignment.

  13. Yes, thank you all for helping I knew once I asked on here I woukd recoeve the correct answer and I believe you all have already nailed it without a pic even. Ok i should have been more clear about weight its in a case so I cant weigh the item which I could open it but with it being such a nice looking medal im worried I get dust or somethimg in rhe case but heres a pic of it.

    If you read the reverse of the medal, it tells you the weight right there.

    This is why I said most coins, as some foreign coins have medal alignment.

  18. Lol Yeah seen it i just mentioned weight for the fact that I heard counterfits wouldnt weigh 31.1 grams so I was basically saying its weight is right. Just couldnt find the actual medal online cause I kept searching coin and thats what was confusing me. Thanks though
     
  19. Thank you and yes you dont really find too many out online like ebay which usually has at least 2 or 3 of everything. I found One I think and it had already sold.
     
  20. I know i was more worried about coin turn orientation because I like to look and search for myself as much as possible because I, 1 learn more that way by reading and 2 more exciting discovering things for myself. Kind of like a cheat book for a video game not too fond of them cause it doesnt leave any suprise.
     
  21. I just mainly wanted to know why i couldnt find it anywhere on the net and about turn orientation Im sorry to be so vague but I like discovering things for myself mostly unless I absolutely am having trouble witb something in particular. Thanks for the help though and its just more exciting doing it myself. I love the hunt for coins and also researching the coins myself. Plus usually when you have someone on here that wants to kbow everything about a certain coin they are only interested in finding out the info so they can sale it really fast. Me, Im not worried about know everything cause I plan on keeping it and in that way I have plenty of time to research for myself. Even though I do appreciate all the help I can get on certain questions. Thank you all
