Rarity of this 2019P Jefferson Liberty Nickel with Monticello upside down?

Newbie2021

Hello,

I found this nickel in my change a few hours ago. Relative to Jefferson’s face, Monticello is upside down. Is this rare?

Monticello doesn’t seem 180 degrees upside down, only close to it. But I’m not sure.

Thank you!

No, it's not.

Looks like it might be rotated a couple of degrees, but not enough to matter to most anyone.

No, not rare, compare it to most any other modern US coin you have. The orientation of obverse to reverse is always that way. Very slight rotation, not rare either.

Put the coin in a 2x2 holder if you have one. Put a notch in one side of that holder.

Take a photo of the obverse and then flip over and shoot the reverse so we have a good orientation for your coin.

That is a known date for rotated die errors

Thanks to all! Showed my true newbie colors with this one lol,

What struck me first (no pun) was that the nickel felt lighter than I expected. But I'm sure that's normal too?

Even Jefferson looks disappointed with you.

Normal … lighter than expected

If it is different than what is expected than means something, but is normal to have expectations differ from reality
