my76strat Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 08:28 am Is it possible for the edge lettering on a Presidential dollar to be up-side-down? I noticed that the 2007 P dollars shown below, (both are George Washington dollars), have different orientations with respect to the edge lettering. Is this an error or does the Mint strike edge letters without regard to the coin's obverse and reverse sides? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Most collectors don't bother with them, but if you want a "super" set, then you do need them. Report this Post to the Staff

I did find a web page that reiterates the advice given above, if others are interested. http://www.pcgs.com/News/Pcgs-To-Re...ntial-Dollar Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
