Just like the john adams currency Washington $1 coins, the Adams coins show an abundance of edge lettering errors. The first errors to surface for this issue were doubled edge lettered coins. This error occurs when a coin passes through the edge lettering machine twice. These come in two variations which are recognized by NGC: Doubled edge lettering with the second set of letters overlapping the first (in various degrees from close to far). Because of space considerations, this is described on the NGC certification label as DBL.EDG.LET. – OVERLAPPED. Doubled edge lettering with the second set of letters inverted over the first. On inverted examples, the two sets of edge lettering are in opposite orientation. One faces up when the obverse side is up, and the other is upside down. This is described on the NGC certification label as DBL.EDG.LET. – INVERTED. Since these coins are fed through the edge lettering machine at random orientation, the edge lettering will appear randomly (as will the doubling) on the edge of the coins. This explains why some of the doubled

Edge Lettering Inscriptions The Edge inscriptions on Presidential Dollars contain the date, mint mark, the motto john adams dollar coin errors "E Pluribus Unum," and the motto "In God We Trust."

The minting process for Presidential Dollars struck for circulation occurs in two steps. In the first step, blanks are fed into a coining machine.

Upside Down Lettering As a result of the minting process described above, edge lettering occurs without regards to the heads-tails orientation of the coin. As such, so-called upside down lettering is not an error. Statistically 50% of Presidential Dollars should have edge lettering heads-side up and 50% should have edge lettering tails side up. Third party grading service PCGS designates edge lettering as "Position A" or "Position B". Some collectors will seek one example for each position. Proof coins are struck using a different process than non-proof strikes. The edge lettering is actually applied when each coin is struck by using a three piece collar. As a result, the edge lettering on proof coins should always appear heads-side up and in the same location on the circumference of the coin. Proof Presidential Dollar coins with upside down lettering would be considered errors.
