I split your reply into its own post and moved it to the appropriate forum for the proper attention.

The edge lettering on business strikes is applied by a process separate from the striking of the coin so its orientation is random. For the proof strikes, the edge lettering is applied with a three segment collar at the time of striking so the orientation is standardized.

And due to slippage during the process that applied the lettering to the edge of the business strikes the spacing between the lettering is not consistent. If you were to stack them up so the E from E PLURIBUS were all alined, you would probably see some variation in the positions of the other letters and you go down the stack. This is normal unless the coin made more than one revolution and some of the lettering is on top of other letters or out of order.
