Errors found on Presidential Dollar Coins

March 2007

Coin collectors and coin dealers are excited to report finding errors on the new Presidential George Washington dollar coins.  The Presidential dollar coins have recently been released and now may be found at many of the banks in the US.

Plain Edge Error coins found

Nick named the “plain edge” dollar, coin collectors are hunting through their rolls of George Washington dollars in search of this elusive “plain-edge” variety error.  One collector reported finding several “plain edge” coins in the same roll.  Others have searched and searched with hopes of finding their first plain edge dollar.  Still others report finding one or two plain edges after searching through large quantities of prez dollars.

See the Presidential Dollar Coin Errors - Plain edge variety Washington dollar error coins & where to buy them.

What’s a plain edge dollar?

The new Presidential dollars have an unusual design, that includes the date(year), mintmark (P,D or S) and mottos (In God We Trust and E Pluribus Unum) on the edge of the coin. Click here to read more about the new edge lettering design.   This edge incused lettering is placed on the coin after the face and back are struck at the mint. 

Herein lies the reason for the new error.  Evidently the plain edge presidential dollars were made when the coins missed this last edge lettering step in the minting process, and somehow escaped detection by the US mint.

Plain edge error coins have been reported in both P and D mint rolls and bags.  However, once removed from the roll or bag, there is no method of distinguishing if the dollar was originally intended to be a P or D mint coin, because the mintmark and other lettering is missing from the edge. 

Have you looked through your coin rolls?

Perhaps you will be one of the luck ones to find a plain edge presidential dollar coin.  Expect to see these error Washington Dollars to start showing up in internet Auctions and coin dealer inventories soon.
