[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3634647, member: 19165"]I have heard some people will always label the date side as the obverse. Usually, if there is a portrait that is the standard obverse. I just want them to be consistent. What bugs me in my collecting area (Moroccan coinage) is that nobody can agree on which side is the obverse and which is the reverse. Even NGC seems to flip a coin - I have examples from the same series where one is slabbed obverse out, one is slabbed reverse out. It makes it even more confusing when the references themselves disagree - Krause calls one side the obverse, Lecompte calls the other side the obverse. Drives me up the wall. Here is an example of the coins I'm talking about: [ATTACH=full]975127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]975128[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
