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.
