Congratulations to all. Please tell, whether the coin is worth attention.
This is one cent of 1971 (without a letter), the front and back sides are shifted by almost 180 degrees.
Is this a normal or interesting defect? This coin is something interesting or ordinary.
thank you

The top of the reverse is supposed to be rotated 180 degrees from the top of the obverse..

Completely ordinary. I like your method of showing orientation with the string.
Collector, occasional seller
I wonder if any of the OP's other coins are also shifted by 180 degrees?
Smitten with DBLCs.
@Olegdas ... Welcome aboard. That is normal coin orientation... and it exists on all U.S. coins. Cheers, RickO
Medals do not have the obverse and reverse out 180 degrees, that is how you can tell the difference between a coin and a medal.
That is a US only distinction.
