The struck coins are run through the edge lettering machine at a high speed without reguard to whether they are facing obverse up or reverse up. Therefore, coins are being struck with &quot;edge lettering right-side-up&quot; and &quot;edge lettering upside-down&quot; in relation to the obverse of the coin (SEE PHOTOS BELOW). &quot;Upside down&quot; lettering <b><u>IS NOT AN ERROR</u></b>. However, it is a nice variation to collect one of each type if one is inclined to do so.</p><p><br /></p><p>The edge lettering on proof coins is applied by a different process than on business strikes. It is applied when the coin is struck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
