Minting must occur in two steps.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the first step, blanks are fed into a coining machine, which strikes the obverse and reverse designs on the coins. These coins are dispensed into a large bin. In the second step, coins from the bins are fed into an edge-incusing machine, which produces the inscriptions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the process described, the heads-tails orientation of the lettering on circulating coins is random. Approximately one half of the time the lettering will be heads-side up, and one half of the time the lettering will be tails-side up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Errors have occurred when coins have not received the second step of the minting process and were released into circulation without edge lettering. Other errors have occurred when the edge lettering has been doubled or doubled and inverted.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The other way is when a coin gets hits hard by another lettered edge coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Both are common and really nothing major.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
