Presidential $ edge lettering question. When did it change?

MWallaceMWallace Posts: 4,204 ✭✭✭✭✭
It was reported on my site SmallDollars.com, as well as many other sites, that the 2009 Presidential Dollars would have the edge lettering of seven stars, followed by the date/MM, followed by six stars, followed by E Pluribus Unum. However it has been pointed out to me that instead they have the same edge lettering as the 2009 Native American $1 which is ten stars, followed by the date/MM, followed by 3 stars, followed by E Pluribus Unum.

There is a CCAC meeting minutes report that states the 2009 Native American $1 will have the same edge Presidential Dollar, but when was the change made/authorized to use 10x3 stars instead of the original 7x6 stars?

    I never noticed. I'll have to start checking coins.
    Anybody got a Proof set handy as well?

    The coins in one my proof sets are 10x3. No idea when it was changed.

    I have a roll of 2009-D Harrison's and 2009-D Tylers which both have the 10x3 configuration.

    I expect that either the NA edge lettering was simply adopted (since they went into production in late 2008) for the Presidential Dollars or there may be another new round of Position A/Position B error coins to look for.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Checked a bunch of them this morning, Harrison, Tyler, Native Americans and Proofs. All 10+3.
    So, apparently they did the change in plans right, but just never bothered to announce it.
