U.S. coins have the obverse right side up and the reverse upside down = "coin turn."
"Medal turn" is when both sides are the same, right side up when you turn them.
If this coin has "medal turn," it is a rotated die.
If he is from Europe, he may think his coin is special!
"Nectar points?"
Surely some sarcasm involved here
He miss-spelled South Dacota twice. Leads one to believe he may not be familiar with these coins.
As an aside from a recent thread:
“Coins flip,
Medals turn.”
A great way to remember.
I wish I had a mnemonic to help remember who gave us that tip.
(This member also pointed out “medals turn” so, if turned around while wearing, the reverse image will be displayed right-side-up.)
It would appear he has a standard quarter and does not realize this is 'de rigueur' for American coinage. Someone should message him.... Cheers, RickO
apparently not a computer either.
Best place to buy !
