<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 167555, member: 669&quot;]Hi Rickie, and <img src="http://www.cosgan.de/images/more/schilder/142.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> to the Darkside.&nbsp; Remember, once you dip your toes in our waters, there is no going back!!!!! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>US coins are generally struck in &quot;coin orientation&quot;, which means that if you turn it over by holding it at the top, the other side will be upright.&nbsp; In &quot;medal orientation&quot;, used by some countries all the time and by others intermittantly, you must turn the coin over by holding it at the side to see the other side upright.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Krause catalog does not specify KM#3104&#039;s orientation, but Austria is known to have used both orientations for coinage, and the nature of the modern minting process is such that it is virtually inconceivable for an orientation error to occur, so I&#039;m betting that your coin was deliberately made with medal orientation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
