It's the type of useless information that some people use to sell useless ideas. The edge lettering is applied to each coin after it leaves the coining chamber, and the "heads up or tails up" position is totally random. If you're "losing it" while trying to make sense of all of the things that will make you rich, that is because you started in the wrong place. Stop looking for the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow" and try to learn more about the minting process. Once you feel confident that you have learned all there is to know about the minting process, then you can start learning how condition and grading affect the value of the coins that you examine. Next, you can continue by relating how supply and demand will affect these values which for most circulated coins is "slim and none". If I sound like I am feeding you a lot of bull, I'm not, but it is probably what you have received if you spent too much time on BoobTube or reading books like "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change". Numismatics can be a lot of fun, but you have to start at 1st Grade and work your way through college in an orderly fashion. Starting with "Errors and Varieties" is putting the bull before the horns.
