[QUOTE="Davo89, post: 2371887, member: 77719"]Hi there, I have found a coin that is from the Netherlands and hoping you could help me out with something regarding it. The coin is from 1919 and is the value of "2 1/2" cents, mintage 2Mil Obverse face: lion inside a beaded circle with words around it "koningrijk der nederlanded" finishing with 1919 at the bottom Reverse face: has value in centre with wreath surrounding it. If you hold coin between your index finger and thumb and look at the obv. face (the lion is upright with date reading 1919) and spin the coin on its NORTH/SOUTH axis with finger on other hand from EAST/WEST the rev. face becomes upside down. So my questions: Is this how the coin is meant to be or has there been an error in striking this coin (die 180 degrees out of alignment) on either of the faces? If this is an error, how much more valuable is the coin? If you would like some pictures to support what I am describing could you be nice enough to let me know a forwarding email address and I can shoot a message. Thanks, Dave[/QUOTE]
