[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3697295, member: 22377"]Some coins are slabbed with the reverse facing the front because the person who submitted the coin requested it (usually due to that side being more eye appealing, like when it has nice toning). As others have mentioned, world coins are a different case. There might not be a consensus obverse vs reverse or the people slabbing them might just not know (especially when the words on the coins are in Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Arabic/etc...). In terms of coins that have rotated in the holder or were placed at an angle, that can be a fault of the holder design (like old PCGS rattlers) or human error.
