Hi I Am Sorry I Do Not Where To Post This.

Hello everyone I hope you are all doing well and staying safe. I sell on eBay and Amazon part time but I had to ship something I sold on eBay and because of the COVID-19 I went to another post office then grocery store 20 minutes away because less people but while at the grocery store I found this 1961 Washington Silver Quarter in the coinstar machine, and someone said that the date on the coin is upside down are they right because to me I can't see that it is, not sure why the person said or thought thank, thank you to who might know.

Someone is pulling your leg . this is a old joke about the 1961 date. If you turned it upside down it would still read 1961 lol

 

If you rotate the coin, keeping the north and south poles unchanged, the opposite side should be upside down. This is called “coin alignment”.

If the opposite side has the same orientation it’s called “medal alignment”.

US coins are coin aligned. Which one is yours?

 

[Edited] LOL

Ignore my comment

 

Thank you all I appreciate your comments.

 

None of this is really important.. All you had to tell us was your question about the Quarter.

Welcome to CoinTalk

 

I woke up too early and as many already know me.. I'm in my pre-coffee nasty mode

 

How much coffee do you drink on Sunday morning?

 

I usually fast Sunday morning.. No cofee and no food. I do it until 1PM.. It's a helpful spiritual thing

 

I was just wondering how grouchy you might be on Sundays.

 

I was wondering what people might think as they walk past you on a beach or park grounds while you're metal detecting on Sunday.......Swish, swish, swish, grumble, grumble, grumble, swish, swish, swish, grumble, grumble, grumble.....

 

LOL, yeah...

 

It's an old joke. Turn the coin so Washington is standing on his head. The date still reads the same. A 1961 quarter is silver and a 1991 quarter is clad.

 

1991 is 1661 upside down. However, we understand your point!

 

It's absolutely critical to the situation.

Pre-covid there wasn't a coin shortage and this quarter wouldn't have seen the light of day, still residing in the sock drawer it's been in since the late 60's, AND the OP, who is obviously a budding numismatist, wouldn't have traveled across town to find it ONLY to post it here on CoinTalk to get everyone's panties in a wad.

I mean, without covid and that trip across town, these bytes on the interwebz would never have happened.

Now do you see the significance?

Zoid out.

 

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Maybe you should switch to Friday nights. Or booze.
