Presidential Dollar <strong>Mint</strong> <strong>Error</strong>s<br />
The Missing Edge Lettering<br />
discovery on the George<br />
Washington Presidential<br />
Dollar was the biggest news story<br />
of 2007. <strong>Mint</strong> <strong>Error</strong> <strong>News</strong> has published<br />
a special edition of the magazine<br />
showcasing the Washington<br />
Dollar Missing Edge Lettering mint<br />
errors which can be viewed on minterrornews.com.<br />
Presidential Dollars<br />
featuring John Adams, the second<br />
president, were also discovered<br />
with the Missing Edge Lettering.<br />
The numbers of Missing Edge Lettering<br />
Presidential Dollars on subsequent<br />
presidents has been greatly<br />
reduced due to new procedures at<br />
the U.S. <strong>Mint</strong>. An example would<br />
be President Monroe Dollars that<br />
are missing the edge lettering. The<br />
number discovered so far is approximately<br />
20.<br />
Other major mint errors in the<br />
Presidential Dollar series are very<br />
scarce. Only two or three off-centers<br />
have been reported and only a<br />
handful of double struck coins have<br />
surfaced. Several Presidential Dollars<br />
have been discovered missing<br />
either an obverse or reverse clad<br />
layer. A few of these Missing Clad<br />
Layers are also missing the Edge<br />
Lettering. To date, three Proof Presidential<br />
Dollars have been certified<br />
by NGC that were stuck on elliptical<br />
planchets. PCGS has certified<br />
a few with clips and a few that are<br />
broadstruck. Some of the major<br />
mint errors on Presidential Dollars<br />
are featured here.<br />
Also featured in this article is an<br />
up-to-date chart showing the number<br />
of Presidential Dollars Missing<br />
Edge Lettering that are known or<br />
