I finally decided to buy rolls. I asked for as many rolls of halves and dollars as I could get. The teller just rolled her eyes and very reluctantly sold me one of each. I'm guessing this is not her favorite thing to do.

I found 2 40% silvers in the single roll of halves. Seems like a good find to me.

I noticed that the Presidential dollars are not consistent. Some edge lettering is in one direction, some upside down. Is this a collectible (savable) variety or do I need just one example of each to "complete" the set someday?

Edge lettering means nothing unless it's missing, doubled or some other abnormalty. Is's just a matter of how it falls in the maching, heads up or tails up.

Correct, the letter direction on business strike Presidential dollars is random, about half will be one way and half will be the other. You can collect both "types" if you want.; I am sure someone out there is!

I am still trying to decide if I even want to collect mint-marks on this series. Since the mint-mark is on the side, I cannot see it when the coin is in the album. I ask myself, "what is the point of having two coins that look identical in the album?"

Ah, decisions!
