<p>[QUOTE="cherrypickermom, post: 978843, member: 27032"]Hi there</p><p>I recently found a 1994 penny with the reverse of Lincoln monument upright or in this case upwrong. Anywhoo Ive read that the obverse of a coin is never wrong or an error because its always considered upright. Well on this particular penny when you flip it over the reverse is upside down instead of up, and when you turn is sideways both obverse and reverse, head and monument up are upright. I visited the coin show recently and asked someones opinion of it and actually showed him the coin. He agreed it is a real coin and gave it a good lookover. He said it was rare to find these but it does happen. I am curiouser than george and really want to know...how does this happen? Is it common? How rare is this? And is it much sought after? Honestly I'm interested to know how this happens?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
