2009 ASE ONE DOLLAR

[Roxanne]

I've been wracking my brain trying to find about this coin
, a lot of history but not a lot on the reason why, well at least why my coin looks like this both obverse and reverse.verse are facing upright/ mean when i flip it from the upright lady over the eagles upside down now a coin shop in town said it supposed to be like that, but hung up i wouldn't mind knowing why, and why is the eagle side looks gold plated? Somebody HELP

In my opinion, as for the orientation, there is a COIN style orientation. You have to take the coin, take it from to top (northern point) and flip it to the southern point.

The Medallic orientation, is when you find the coin from the side (east to west).

I am not sure which orientation bullion potentially produced by the mint are using.

The golden color on the reverse appears to be around the letters and numbers. Where there is a lot of flat area (called the field) there is none or it is very light. Sure, it could have been an attempt to electroplated it. It's difficult to know what happened for sure when I am looking at just photos.

One last thought... lt looks like this ASE was either well circulated or has issues. I would recommend getting it weighed to see if it is within specs. One should attempt to rule out a fake.
