....Should I open it and see if there are any errors? I've picked it up at a 7Eleven 4 years ago and I'm curious. I don't want to open it, but then I do. What are the chances they are error's? Would you open them? Arguments for? or against it? Thanks

My opinion ? It is worth $25. Everybody who hoarded these thinking that they were getting in on the bottom floor of the next big "collector series" are now just dumping these for face.
Open it, check for errors, that is the only advantage to the roll for you now. Unless you live to be 150 years old, then maybe this intact roll may be worth more than face in your lifetime.

Ok. No blanks. But I found some right side up and some upside down writing on the side does that matter?

The edge lettering being upside down or right side up is known as type A and type B. Some people collect both. I have been tempted to do so myself, but in the end, I found I really don't care enough to double my collected set for no reason.

The edge lettering is done on a separate machine. The obverse and reverse are stamped first, the coins are then dropped into a hopper. Then randomly fed into a second machine which incuses the edge lettering.
So theoretically half the edge lettering should be oriented toward the obverse and half toward the reverse
