Looks normal to me. Not sure what you mean by inverted. There are A position and B position varieties. John1

Only proof dollars has the edge added at the time of the strike with a special collar. Business strike coins are added before of after the strikes on the faces.

Now I know you are referring to the A and B position of the edge lettering. No added value for either,it is all random as to what position the letters end up as. John1

The lettering is added after the coins have been struck, The struck coins enter the edge lettering machine randomly as to heads or tails up orientation. Get a large quantity of dollar coins of any particular president and you find the "up and down" orientation of the lettering is about 50% one way and 50% the other.

It is absolutely normal for the Presidential dollar coins for them to be 50% what you are calling "Inverted". Half with the collar lettering rightside up on the obverse and 50% rightside up on the reverse.
