<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 167690, member: 112"]You're probably right Roy, but - don't think that just because of modern minting technology that spectacular errors don't occur in world coinage. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, it seems to happen more often with world coinage than it does with US coinage. There are plenty of genuine Euro coin errors like a double obverse or double reverse (two heads/tails). If <u>that</u> can happen, an orientation error is next to nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Spend some time in the <a href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=13902" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.org/showthread.php?t=13902" rel="nofollow">Variety & Error</a> section Richie.
