So, how many of you have run to your bank and bought a zillion rolls looking for a plain edge?

Plain edge what ?

rgl1345 · February 18, 2007 6:46AM

I wanted one so I just put it on the milling machine

GullibleNewb · February 18, 2007 6:47AM

I've been making my own.

ricko · February 18, 2007 6:48AM

I am running them through the airport x-ray machine as we speak...

Since the lettering is incuse, how small would the coin be before it is completely removed?

You have to fill it first, and then grind and smooth. My dentist and I have it down to a science.

Bochiman · February 18, 2007 7:01AM

Well, Russ....how many DID you go get?

STONE · February 18, 2007 7:04AM

I bought a roll, but don't plan on opening it for a while. You know how speculation in this market works.

When I saw that one coin on ebay, I did get curious if I would open it or not, but I won't. WHO KNOWS, a whole roll of no incused lettering!!!

30AnvZ28 · February 18, 2007 7:07AM

I was going to... then I realized it was Sun. Stand by on Tues though...

Then you notice you got Saccied!

notlogical · February 18, 2007 7:31AM

Thanks for the idea Russ!

<< Thanks for the idea Russ!

Yeah, thanks!

MadMarty · February 18, 2007 7:35AM

I'm waiting for a doubled lettered edge to come out. That would be very cool!!!

And yes Russ, I'm checking the $1000 in rolls I picked up yesterday. I will say the strike and quality of the coins, well SUCK!!!

pf70collector · February 18, 2007 8:08AM

None in the 600 I searched for the first day issue I sent to PCGS but I did notice upside down edges on ebay going for $16.00. These have got to be common because I have them in my 600 Washingont P's. I don't think the mint cares which way the they go into the machine. But holding on to them just in case they are errors. Upside Down Error

If they get above $25.00 I might put a few on ebay myself.

I wonder how many I sent in for first day issue.

Russ · February 18, 2007 8:17AM

Are the banks rolling these in that plastic shrink wrap stuff? That would sure speed up the cherrypicking.

Russ, NCNE

mach19 · February 18, 2007 8:26AM

I have no interest

seemyauction · February 18, 2007 11:18AM

lol

Russ, what have you been smoking you posted this on Sunday (banks are closed) and Monday is a holiday so they are closed then also!

No, paper wrap.

It seems these Washington Dollars will be the test run for the mint errors showing up. The mint will clean up its act when John Adams comes out next or maybe not.

aballein · February 19, 2007 5:49AM

sheesh $16 for the lettering being upside down..Ive got one with upside down lettering AND a die crack..some people are crazy. I also found one with something funky going on in the WA of Washington..looks like a die clash almost..i cant take any pics because i suck but if upside down lettering is going for $16 then i might just buy an island with mine....one can dream anyway

Russ · February 19, 2007 5:53AM

The plain edge listed on eBay is now over $400.

Russ, NCNE

cohocorp · February 19, 2007 5:54AM

my bank -commerce- said i could only have 5 coins since they are so limited.

Bochiman · February 19, 2007 5:55AM

Moral dilemma for me right now.....

I have over $400 worth of these...have opened $75 worth (to show people, spend, give away, etc) and noticed quite a few with the lettering up and quite a few with it down. Should I ebay them or not...hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

As for plain edge...none yet...but I do wonder if, and how much so, the edge will weigh into the grades as the edges generally look like crap.

ILikeMercs · February 19, 2007 5:58AM

I drove to my bank and made a deposit......."Oh yeah, could I have 2 of those new dollars?"

itsnotjustme · February 19, 2007 6:15AM

<< If they get above $25.00 I might put a few on ebay myself. >>

Please don't become part of the sleaze on e-bay. I am contacting sellers listing these and telling them it is normal, and challenging them to post my question in there auction.

WinPitcher · February 19, 2007 6:24AM

But holding on to them just in case they are errors.

I opened 1 roll and it was basically 50/50 split. I doubt that these are errors.

I would not have gotten any if they were.

They're not errors. There is no procedure for placement (heads up or tails up) when they go into the machine for the lettered edging.
That said, it is still tempting to ebay them and state as much then state "here is one of each already found so you don't have to". Ebay people will buy anything

pf70collector · February 19, 2007 6:34AM

How will PCGs holder these. I guess upside down in relation to the obverse. There will be no distinction between the two by the TPG's is my guess. These have already been holdered by NGC with no distinction.

ChicagoRon · February 19, 2007 6:38AM

I saw the upside down error listing and started to do a listing myself. Then when i looked through my dollars i realized they were pretty evne as to up and down. Oh well morals got the better of me.
