I had the same question, and I would think a left hand rule would require the field to be in the same circular pattern around the conductor for both coils. So if, as you said, the electrons traveling through the two coils in the opposite (CW now CCW), wouldn't the fields be opposite to each other in terms of left-hand rule. I guess I need to open some books again because I don't doubt that this is working for you.

If you have two identically wound 10 turn spirals and you connected the
inner lead of one to the outer lead of the other, the two spirals would
work as one effectively 20-turn spiral. But since I'm joining the two
inner leads together, if you imagined yourself as an electron flowing
through the coil from one outer lead to the other, you would be going CW in
one coil and when you cross into the other, you would be going CCW. If you
look at the photo, with the two coils wound in opposite directions and
joined in the center, you would be going in the same direction throughout
the entire path. The picture is more evident than the words.
