Hello, first forgive me for being new to this and if I am doing it incorrectly I am new to coin collecting and have a taste for the thrill of seeking error coins. I know nothing about it, except what I have read online. I have been reading this forum for a little while now and have a question if someone would be so kind as to answer if you can. I found a 1970 Canadian coin, pretty worn but when I looked on the reverse I noticed something odd. I am wondering if these coins were made different than us cents in reference to the reverse being upside down. I'm sorry, trying to be a little more clear here. I was looking on the reverse of my 1998,1999 us cents when I saw that when flipping them over of course the memorial was in the upright position, some a little off. But when doing the same with the Canadian coin it was completely upside down. Is this normal? I have tried to include pictures of both sides. Thank you for any help and again, I am new so please bare with me
Howdy bliss70 - Welcome to the Forum !! Yes that is normal. US coins are struck in what is known as coin alignment. Canadian coins are struck in what is known as medal alignment.
