Saw this on the US Mint's website in a May 2nd press release:
"As approved by Secretary Paulson, the new coin will have several modern elements. The obverse of the new coin will feature 50 stars, instead of the original 46 stars on the obverse (heads side), which represented the 46 states in the Union in 1907."
However, in the image it clearly shows 46.
I also found that the new coins will (are supposed to) be 27mm in diameter, and 50% thicker than the conventional $50 American Eagle planchets.

<< <i>How cool if the die got filled with grease and the last 4 stars were invisible as they would probably blend into the background. That would be a cool error. I'll call my guys at the mint working 3rd shift to see if they can do that. It worked out well by having them "mix" up some dies on the ASE's this year
You won't see common people ordering 500 at a time looking for the error like you did on the ASE. --Jerry
