Two Headed coins, gold plated coins, etc. etc........
These "Upside Down" and "Rightside Up" edge
coins will haunt coin shops for another 50 years.
I just got off the phone with an AP reporter who
was a bit confused about that aspect of the coins,
although they were able to understand the Plain
Edge coins missing the Edge Lettering Operation...
Check out these morons.

<< <i>I wonder if the "up" and "down" edge inscriptions will be random on the proof coins also. >>
Nope, should be all the same direction on the proofs.

Well indeed. I am in the wrong business.
will be struck using a different
method, and the lettered edges
will "read up" on all of them.
Think about it - what would a proof
coin look like if it went thru the same
operation's that the BU's go thru?
Coin World wrote about this - I'm
giving the short version -
( from Paul Gilkes, Staff Writer )
For Proof Coins, there is a special collar with a three-part edge collar so as a coin
is struck, it also get's stamped on the edge by the three piece collar (which is actually
jut another die).
"Once the coin is struck, the three segments of the collar will seperate to permit ejection of
the coin wihout damage occuring to the edge from the raised letters on the collar"
"The bottom die has been modified to include a cam shoulder that seperates the three-piece
collar during the coin ejection cycle."
So, the Proofs are struck, with the Lettered Edges, very differently than the BU's......
