Picked up two rolls, opened one - no errors - plenty of dings - abnormal amount of toning for new coins. Toning on three was significant and ugly - the worst of them I have already given to fellow workers but I'll post a picture of one later tonight.

I got one free at this event for answering some easy questions about Jefferson.

Got a roll as well. That wasn't free. lol

 

thats pretty cool, where was that event? D.C.?
O i just realized, it has to be in dc, I can see the jefferson monument

 

i feel bad for the guy stuffed up int he coat. man it looks hot out there

 

I havent gotten any of the Jefferson Dollars yet. I'm sure there will be errors with this one also, its just a matter of time until someone finds them.

 

yeah, I reallly hope I can find a blank edge error for jefferson, I cant seem to afford any of the other blank edge presidents. So hopefully I'll find one in one of these rolls

 

LaSalle in Chicago

Lasalle bank in Chicago has them. Picked up 4 rolls. Only opening 2 saving the others for a roll collection I've started. will keep you updated on finds.

 

yeah, I have a roll collecting on denver mint marks for presidential dollars too

 

According to a recent Coin World article the mint's production of presidential dollars is now done in one closed process rather than having the edge lettering done in a seperate step. The mint was unable to do so before producing the coins, but by the middle of the Adams production, was able to complete the process. Bottom line is that if the story is accurate, there will be no more smooth edge pres dollars after Adams.

 

that stinks

 

Story must not be accurate. No report of a plain edge yet, but there was a report on the NGC forum of a "slipped" edge error. (edge inscriptions not evenly spaced. Way to close in one area and way too seperated on the oppositie side of the coin.)

 

Just picked up my first roll, Philadelphia strikes. I'm about to spend one in the vending machine.

 

first I've seen

got a tails/tails roll of Jefferson dollars. Straight from the bank, watched the teller open the box on release date 8/16/07. Wouldn't it be nice to get the first tail/tail presidential dollar (only dreaming), what a find that would be. Leaving the roll intact.
From the looks of the other rolls they look like an excellent strike except for one roll. No dings, no blemishes, except for the one roll.

 

This is far different from the error coins that have no edge lettering. I did not say, nor did I mean to imply that there will be no more edge errors of any kind. Errors are inevitable. I merely stated that the smooth edge dollars won't happen beyond Adams.

 

I found one with an extra 7 after the 2007 on the edge.
It is light and I guess it's considered a dropped letter.
I've bid on one on fleabay.
It had a U between the 2007 and P mint mark, making it appear like 7UP...lol

BTW....
I posted a thread in the Coin Chat forum concerning my error.
I also posted some crummy pics, but it was the best I could do.

 

If you can have a slipped edge error that means that they are NOT being made in a one step method and that means the edge is being lettered in a separate step either before or after striking. And if that is the case then it is possible for pieces to miss the edge lettering. In order to make the coins in one step, the edge lettering would have to be applied during the strike which means a multi-piece collar like they do the proof coins. And if they are doing it that way the lettering would always be in the same position relative to the design and a spacing error on the edge would not be possible. Also the lettering will always be in either position A or position B. There will be no more 50/50 mix of edges.

 

I got a roll of jeffersons today and about half of them had some sort of coating on them that made them look dark, almost greasy. Is there a step where the wash the coins or something, and is it possible for some of the coins to miss that step?

Also, as I understand it, the striking of the coin occurs on one machine, then the coins are transfered to another where the edge lettering is put on. Before jefferson the coins were transported in big tubs from one machine to the next. Now, supposedly they have built some sort of automated line that transports the coins directly from one machine to the other. This still means that there could be coins without the edge lettering but I would imagine that the numbers would be much lower than previous releases.

 

How would you know you had it? They're not marked or numbered in any way.

 

Maybe in the future, but not yet.

If that process were in use, all the coins would have the same edge orientation, but the roll I just opened has 13 edges readable with heads up, and 12 readable with tails up, which proves that the original method is still being used for the Jeffersons, and the possibility of both smooth edge and doubled edge errors is still there.

BTW it's a Denver roll with zero spots, zero discolorations, and zero noticeable bag marks/dings/rubs. My grading skills for MS coins are negligible, but I suspect all I have in that roll are MS67s and better.
