I just bought a roll of Presidential $s over the weekend, ended up with all D mint which is okay But when looking at the markings on the edge, I noticed sometimes the marking is heads side up and other times tail side up, same year of coin too and same President Is that normal? I would've thought they would've all been the same way thanks Report this Post to the Staff

I don't recall which is done first from what I have read. Since the coining process is mostly automated there is no easy way to get the blanks to lie in one orientation or the other when the second process is done so they just let them land either way.
