Johnnie,

Since there is no right-side up, there is no upside-down. Sorry, your coins are worth exactly $1 each.

Hi Jimmy,

Sounds like you have a ground coin. From what I’ve read, the grinding takes of anywhere from 0.1 to 0.2 – I would seriously doubt it’s legitimate.

Hello all, I have a question, can someone tell me the weight of these dollar coins with no edge lettering??? If someone grinds down the edge how much weight would this take off the coin??? I have one of these coins missing the edge letters and the weight of this coin is 7.97 and in the uncirculated set from the mint it says the washington dollar should weigh 8.1. How much weight would be removed from grinding the edge. thanks

Sorry Jason,

I don’t buy the conspiracy theory. There are no black helicopters here. This is a new process and a new coin – I think that the most of the errors, which are in very small numbers, are typical for any mechanical process.

What might be missing here is a level of quality control, which might have to do with the tight timeframes for each coin release.

Of course, I could be wrong, and this could all have been orchestrated by the shadowy figures of the Illuminati. In fact… I may be one of them.

Thanks for reading!

I hope someone realizes the great marketing job the US mint has accomplished. The re-birth of US coins!!! It’s too bad they weren’t the ones getting 100plus a coin. That would have offered some extra funding for the Government aided programs that we also have forgotten about. I am a coin collector and I have enjoyed this as much as the rest but I think we need to put a cap on this “error” epidemic. It’s clear(at least it is to me) that these so called error coins are actually purposely releasted into circulation to advertise ans sell these coins. With the technology we have today, do you honestly think they just slipped thru? There were very few error coins until now(pop wise) and they were minted years and years ago when we had a fraction of the technology we have today. IS this making cents? Or am I just a party spoiler?

I have a denver minted presidents dollar coin and on the edge lettering the words in god we trust are clear. But on the word trust the T`s are not crossed the lettering is perfectly centered on the edge can this an error if you can let me know.

I am not fully up to speed on all the variations, but according to the articles I’ve read, the only verified smooth edge errors are from Philidelphia, and the blank planchette is a single error from Denver.

Adam- is the Philadelphia mint the only one to have made smooth edge and blank planchette errors, or are they also being found from the Denver mint?

I have a new Washington Dollar that has rays on both sides & the two S’s in STATES upper serif filled. Oh & NO Letters on the edge.

Nate,

That would be basically an unfinished die… very rare. You may want to get that authenticated as soon as possible.

I have a coin that is not plated on the front or the back. Is it a Template or what? My coin looks like a penny but same size as the dollar coin. Any comments??

Hi Just a Voice,

Not only haven’t I heard that, but I don’t really understand how that would even be possible. There are a very large number of verified edgeless errors.

It’s not only unlikely, but impossible for the US Mint to recover them all. Some estimates put the total count of edgeless error coins at over 100,000.

I think the bigger danger with the edgeless error coins is that supply will outstrip demand for them.

I heard that the mint recovered all of the coins with no edge lettering, and all the thousands selling on ebay must have been filed off, what do you think?

In the middle of a roll we just recived, we have one coin that is only plated on the edge. The front and back are not plated. Is this an error?
