<p>[QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 199792, member: 1242"]You all have apparently mis-read the information that the U.S. Mint wrote concerning the Incused-Edge Inscriptions! They state the following: "Due to the minting process used on the circulating coins, the edge-incused inscription positions will vary with each coin." This means that the inscription will vary in position in reference to where it may start or end on the coin's edge (i.e. on one coin the inscription may start at K-12:00 while on another, it may start at K-5:30 and start at K-9:00 on another). This in no way references whether the inscription should be rightside up or upside down in reference to the Obverse of the coin. I have copied and pasted below the link to their' website page with this information.</p><p><br /></p><p>http://www.usmint.gov/mint_programs/$1coin/index.cfm?action=EdgeIncused</p><p><br /></p><p>If the upside down Inscriptions on the edge of the coins is proven to be an error, then the bigger hype would be those who dispell them as being errors, thus harming the collectibilty of any coins with such an error as well as harming those who own them and those who sell them![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
