<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1592368, member: 66"]The planchets for the early half cents, large cents half dollars and dollars were all lettered as a separate step before striking. They would have been all mixed up in the bucket and would have gone into the press oriented randomly (Unless you have some anal retentive press operator) So as your sample size of viewing bust dollars increases the edge orientation should eventually start approaching a 50/50 split.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
