mathman Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 05/21/2007 9:44 pm So, I'm at the bank today and pick up two rolls of Adams dollars. I got home, put on the gloves, opened the rolls and guess what? Half of them had the side inscriptions upside down!!!!! Woot! Woot! Report this Post to the Staff

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/21/2007 9:47 pm Sorry to be the barer of bad news but half of them were upside down because half of all of them are upside down. It's a 50/50 chance when they are in the mint when they get their sides engraved. Good thing you didn't buy any like that though. Report this Post to the Staff

halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 05/21/2007 10:54 pm It was meant in jest, sorry if it sounded serious...I thought this was going to be a humorous thread, I guess I should have thrown in a few s and some or maybe an orange twister...

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 3:39 pm The edge lettering is randomly oriented- about 50/50 up or down. When first released, people were selling upside down edge letters as errors when they obviously were not Report this Post to the Staff
inacoffeebuzz Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 05/22/2007 3:46 pm The new dollar coins have edge lettering on them (see bobby131313's link above) and sometimes the lettering can be read with the face (obverse) side up or with the tails (reverse)side up (upside down). It's by random chance which way the lettering faces. Oddly enough, PSEG (a major third party grader) has officially recognized this as a grading feature: http://www.pcgs.com/articles/articl...iverseid=313 Report this Post to the Staff
