[QUOTE="Hookman, post: 3581936, member: 99642"]Is there writing/printing on the rim? With some coins "position" refers to where the rim printing begins. Position A would be one starting location. Position B would be a different starting location. With some coins the position may increase value. With others it does not. With the coin you posted, Position B has a slight increase in value in higher grades.(see link below) You would have to do more research, or ask an expert on these coins (not I), in order to know which one you have. Sometimes, NGC will state the starting point of the inscription, i.e. 2 o'clock, 10 o'clock, etc.. Sometimes the inscription will actually change depending on the coin, and which version, you may have. There is much more info on this subject than I can answer here. Other members should chime in.
