These are still selling well on eBay (completed sales)
The NGC website has had this up for months: "This next coin (ADAMS) is new to the series. On this coin, the edge lettering die seems to have been inadvertently laser-etched, making the entire edge of the coin appear frosted or matte-like. At first glance, without putting a loop to the coin, the edge appears simply less shiny than normal coins. Magnification of the edge of the coin reveals the lines associated with laser etching. While NGC is not recognizing this the matte edge Adams $1 at this time, we are currently investigating it for attribution."
I have heard that NGC is no longer investigating this... but that the upcoming issue of Coin World will have a BIG article on it....
I don't have a subscription to Coin World, and was wondering if anyone else has any news/info on this??

No Way Out: Stimulus and Money Printing Are the Only Path Left
Certainly seems to be a sub-type edge lettering style, this type of difference would be better calling a Type B edge, rather than the damn upside down inscription....
would someone from PCGS or NGC pick up this variety and tag it as such!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
