.
is it normal for "CENTS" to be oriented one way while the other lettering is oriented another? to wit: pos A & pos B

Not sure. I'll "halve" to study the issue some more.

explain further please....

The 1818 Pinchers does have the edge lettering that is oriented differently as in
"50 CENTS OR" is pointed up lets say while looking at the edge, and continuing around the
"HALF A DOLLAR" will be upside down or oriented opposite.

Is this what you are talking about....

Right. Some of the 1818 O.108 halves have "FIFTY CENTS OR" one way, and "HALF A DOLLAR" the opposite (upside down). According to Henry Hilgard about a half dozen are known. Since the O.108 is an R1 I assume very few have this error.

Here's one. (Sorry, I didn't shoot the edges. Duh.)
