orionlocke New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/21/2007 2:07 pm Hi Everyone, I went out the other day and got a couple rolls of the new Jefferson $1 coins and I see some of these coins have the top side of the writing on the rim facing the obverse side yet others the top side of the writing faces the reverse. Do the new $1 coins have no standard on which direction the writing on the rim goes? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 09/21/2007 3:14 pm My understanding is that they are using a standard direction (lettering 'right side up' when the obverse is up) on proofs, but circulation strikes are random. Many collectors are considering the orientation of the edge lettering as 'varieties' and want to acquire both. Personally, I'm saving up for an 1873 Trade dollar. Report this Post to the Staff
