Edge lettering position is random. No extra premium.

Yep! The edge lettering is done after the initial striking. The coins are fed randomly into a machine that puts the edge lettering on. In theory there should be 50% position A and 50% position B.
I believe this is different for the proofs since the edge lettering is applied during the strike.

Aye, the only time that "upside down" edge lettering could be worth anything is if it occurs on a proof as the proof lettering is supposed to be in the same direction for each piece.
