[QUOTE="Stork, post: 3251913, member: 71642"]Cool--I love the way you present these albums. I choose to use the JNDA mode for orientation with the 'sen' and the dots centered below. It helps my western eyes that the western lettering is centered. That said, I've noticed the way the JNDA imply obverse/reverse can be flipped. I use the side with the issuing authority as the obverse. [ATTACH=full]853498[/ATTACH] To add to what Ewomack said, in case you can't remember what year the dates flipped reading directions (it related to during the transition time when the authority was 'the government of Japan' vs. 'great Japan' or 'country of Japan'). Look for the 'nen' [B]年[/B] character. It brings up the rear in any date you are reading. I've got an old coin dating/reading graphic lying around somewhere if anyone wants to look at it.[/QUOTE]
