  • In time these errors will most likely command only a small premium as they will be readily available. I salute those who are making good money on them, it's capitalism at its finest.

    The real errors will be the Sacagewea dollars with edge lettering.

    Supposedly not gonna happen, as they say they will not mint the sacs at the same time as the prexy's........I guess we will see.

    I think the only error will be paying too much for the error.

  • What would really be cool is if they mismatch the Sac obv with a pres reverse. Now that would be cool error.

    What may also be interesting is what the post-strike edge lettering may do with error coins. Most intriguing may be a partial collar. The larger diameter of a broadstrike could also lead to some interesting results. Or an off-metal coin, especially on a quarter blank, would be intriguing to see if the edge could still get lettered.

    I also wonder if we'll see double edge lettered coins.
    Give Blood (Red Bags) & Platelets (Yellow Bags)!
  • "I also wonder if we'll see double edge lettered coins."

    Yep -- already has happened. This one went thru the edge lettering machine twice. The two sets are equal distanced apart.

    Did you find this one or is it from another source?

    The double lettering is really kinda cool. I would not mind trying for a complete set of doubled edges.
  • Reliable source.

    Eric von Klinger of CW e-mailed me saying that he and Paul Gilkes visited the mint and watched the edge lettering equipment. He said that they saw plenty of blanks and already struck coins that had been thru the machine all over the floor. Someone could easily pick them up and throw them back on to the conveyor belt and go through the machine again. That's what we see on this one going through twice.

    Pretty soon the coins that have lettering will be scarce.image

    I bought up over 700 of em in individual rolls from various banks in my area the day they came out and have only broke open a few. So far no luck with any non lettered edge coins.... for that matter i wouldnt even call most of what I've opened BU. Are they making these things from clad butter? I've never seen coins that are so banged, scratched and ugly straight from N.F. Strings wrappers.

    You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.


  • I want to see how many first day of issue coins come back with no lettering.

    How many did the Mint screw up ?

    The supply is non stop on ebay. You'd have to think with the new process someone was watching what was going on. So how did so many thousands get by ??

    I've been watching ebay.

    A search of 'washington edge' is in the low 300's. I think after today, Sunday, there may be less than 300 for the first time.

    This search produces more than the smooth edge. I'm going out on a limb here to say I think they are drying up. You'd have to think all the banks in Florida have been raided.

    Here's an article from a different thread.

  • WinPitcherWinPitcher Posts: 27,726 ✭✭✭
    From the article:

    The CWI location number that rolled the plain edge Washington coins found in and around the Tallahassee area is 103. Therefore, the CWI#103 is NOT a lot number, but simply a location number that appears on every single box of coins, of any type, Presidential or otherwise, that leaves that facility


    My bank in NY had the box numbered 103.

    what does that mean?

    Means i doubt I have any.

    Good for you.

    How many are being hoarded and not even being sold on ebay?

    I heard that the rumor that a teller found 15,000 is not true, the teller had 15,000 to search and not 15,000 found.
