I totally missed this detail when it was originally unveiled. And it's disgusting.

I'm sorry, but there is obviously an intent here: "War over Peace". Simple as that.

And that intent was not the Founding Fathers intent. Anyone who says otherwise is just distorting history to meet their current aims.

Pure speculation.

And purely political on your part.

As soon as I saw this post, I knew it would be closed soon.

Since the design goes back to 2024, I imagine they are tacitly blaming the wrong person.

If you start from the position that every coin you examine should look exactly like every other coin of the same date/mint, you'll find "errors" everywhere.

And I will add: I would be willing to let this fly if this was a DoD or military branch related issue, but it isn't.

For the 250th, we're supposed to be representing our nation's highest ideals and aspirations.

The design goes back to the Biden administration. Look at the CCAC thread. It was 2024. It appears to BE a military issue intentionally recognizing the warring colonies.

That assumes a LOT of facts that are not in evidence.

@KellenCoin can you offer any insight?

Checking his aim.^^

I think he might believe that there is something wrong with the edge lettering?

There is a huge variation in the depth and therefore width of edge lettering on dollar coins. It's not an error to find that.

The potential errors on edge lettering are: missing lettering, partial lettering where the machine skipped, and coins that went through the process twice, in which case the two sets of lettering would be very noticeable.

None of those require a microscope to see.

As i have always said, if you want to find errors, look at more coins, don't look at your coins more closely.

Here's the image of the reverse design (2026 Dime). Is it just me or does it appear as though the eagle is looking for something it dropped?
