<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8324328, member: 19463&quot;]The question here is whether the temple or the legends were engraved first.&nbsp; Whichever was second, the engraver mistook &#039;up&#039; and cut with the other was upside down.&nbsp; To me, it seems more likely that the building was first but the lettering cutter placed it upside down and did the letters accordingly.&nbsp; There are variations of these that are not errors but just different like the one below that has the temple facing to the left.&nbsp; Upside down is certainly an error.&nbsp; I believe I recall someone else posting a coin like this in the past on CT.&nbsp; I do wonder if it was the same die or if the same error was made more than once. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1474945[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
