<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1435639, member: 29751&quot;]What Hobo said is correct, except that Position B is when the coin is Heads Up and the edge lettering is readable.&nbsp; Position A is when the coin is tails up and the edge lettering is readable.&nbsp; As mentioned, for regular issue circulation strike coins the edge lettering is applied in what is considered a &quot;random&quot; process with the Position A and B lettering being applied about 50% each.</p><p><br /></p><p>When grading coins, PCGS differentiates between the two edge lettering orientations, while NGC does not.&nbsp; In my opinion this differentiation is simply a marketing ploy for PCGS to grade more coins and make more slots in their registry sets that people feel the need/obsession to fill.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
