DEFECTIVE COINS FROM THE U.S. MINT
The U.S. Mint stamped out almost 10,000, 2007 Presidental
coins missing the Moto "E PLURIEUS UNUM" and "IN GOD WE TRUST". Did any of the 2007 Presidental Coins ever get issued? You see the Moto on THE EDGE of the coins, with either the letter "D" or "P", and year minted. P= Philidelphia U.S. Mint D= Denver U.S. Mint How does one go about getting these defective coins? |

But then I recall he was a Chinese detective, not a US president. How does one go about getting these defective coins? Wait until they're issued. |

DEFECTIVE COINS FROM THE U.S. MINT
Hello Jon Purkey
In response to your question below. Here is one of the links and some of the text. FROM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_$1_Coin_Program Minting errors On March 8, 2007, the United States Mint announced that, on February 15, 2007, an unknown number of George Washington Presidential $1 Coins were released into circulation without their edge inscriptions (the U.S. mottoes, "In God we trust" and "E pluribus unum", the coin's mint mark, and its year of issuance; i.e. E PLURIBUS UNUM . IN GOD WE TRUST . 2007 X, where X is either P or D).[7] Ron Guth, of the Professional Coin Grading Service, estimates that at least 50,000 coins were released without the edge inscriptions. The first such coin discovered was sold on eBay for $600, while later coins were selling $40-$60, as of late March 8, 2007.[8][9] Because one of the inscriptions missing from the coins is the motto "In God we trust", some articles on the subject have referred to them as "Godless dollars." [10] [11] Counterfeit "Godless dollars" have been produced with the edge lettering filed off. These specimens are worth face value.[12] Also, John Adams Presidential Dollars have been discovered with plain edges. They are lesser in quantity than George Washington plain edge dollars, making them rarer, thus more expensive. Other errors on Adams dollars include doubled edge lettering and moderate die cracks. In early March, a Colorado couple found a George Washington dollar coin missing stamping on both sides of the coin.[13] Some of the coins have the words on the rim struck upside down (president face up). These are not minting errors, but rather a variation created by the minting process. Such "upside-down" coins have been sold on auction websites for greater than their face value, even though they represent roughly 50% of the minted population.[14] "Jon Purkey" wrote in message news eBay or many coin dealers have them if you have the $$$! Where did you see the 10,000 figure?

How does one go about getting these defective coins?
I can't imagine why you'd want one, but just check with any of the grading services or coin shows. They've been having themselves a cash cow field day hawking the stupid things as "rare mint treasures" and the reason is readily apparent. Shop At Home had this one to offer: 2007 George Washington Presidential Dollar NGC Cert. MS66 Mint Error No. 12024321 -- $679.99 Question is, do you really want one bad enough to pay a bullion price for a piece of useless trash? |

A search of completed auctions shows it is getting close, even for certified coins. Though I'd still prefer a significant die rotation error. |
