TheBrandonian New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/18/2009 11:23 pm Hello, I'm new to this site but I was wondering if anyone could answer my question. On the newer Presidential dollar coins, if you were to stack them all face up and look at the edge lettering should they all be facing the same way...should it be right side up, up side down, or does it matter? I brought this up to my local coin shop operator and he didn't have an answer but said he would look into it for me. Any input would be appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

TheBrandonian New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 03/18/2009 11:29 pm Thanks for the clarification...I didn't think too much of it as it seems to be pretty common with the ones that I do have. Also, thanks for the welcome. Report this Post to the Staff

I am not sure, however I know if you have the lettering both ways on the same coin, this too is worth a premium, good luck, Mike Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/19/2009 6:01 pm Hi and welcome:-) The coins enter the edge lettering machine randomly. The lettering is applied either way. In theory, there is a fifty/fifty distribution of "right side up" and "upside down" ones. One is no more rare or common than the other. On proof versions of the coin, there is a three piece collar used to strike the edge lettering rather than the Schuler edge lettering machine used for circulation strikes. The lettering on a proof coin is supposed to be "right side up" in relation to the obverse. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
