    I don't need more photos! It's machine doubling!

    By the way, you can go back and remove Posts #39, 40 & 41. Just leave a period (.) after you've deleted each duplicate post.

    You can see it here and you can enlarge it more if you have to. I have found 2 just like it already. Except one has the date also and one has liberty. I'm still looking and I think this time it will be my turn to smile and your turn to eat grass.

    Someone may have gotten it mixed up with the missing edge lettering on some of the Washington dollars. Definitely none of the 2000 Sacagaweas had edge lettering.

    I've got some of those I'll let you have for $4 each. No, make that $3 each.

    If it has edge lettering on the edge of the coin, I could almost guarantee that you're either looking at a different coin (Your photo;s are of two different coins BTW) or the lettering was faked which is easy enough to do for someone with the right skill set.

    Make no mistake, there is a Sacagawea with Edge Lettering that commands a significant premium. Specifically, PCGS offered a $10,000 cash reward to anybody that could find a Sacagawea with edge lettering from 2007 when the edge lettering process was in its infancy stages. Only Presidentail Dollars were to receive the edge lettering as the Sacagawea Dollars had everything on the Obv and Rev. Date/MM In God We Trust, E Plusirbu Unum, United States of America, One Dolar.

    A collector submitted a Sacagawea 2007-D with Edge Lettering and collected the Reward.

    The coin was put up for bids on Great Collections and sold for $17,161.10 on July 15, 2012.

    However, it is extremely important to note that "Edge Lettering" was not even in the planning stages for the Sacagawea Golden Dollars in 1999 or even 2000 since the Presidential Dollar Coin Act had not even been introduced to Congress. The Treasury Department was still evaluating the impact of the Statehood Quarters program and the Sacagawea Dollars were failing miserably from a 'commercial use' standpoint. As such and as I stated earlier, either you've mixed up your coins (easy for a newbie) or the lettering is faked since the equipment to even produce the edge lettering simply did not exist at the US Mint in the year 2000.

    These just aren’t the same coin... As said above, the luster is all wrong and I can see a 2010 date on the edge of the second coin.

    If I may sneak in here for a sec..

    Next time you're buying coin collecting supplies or at a department store, pick up a couple pairs of thin white cotton gloves. They are usually pretty cheap. Also, try to get into the habit of holding your coins by the edges - even while wearing the gloves, and even those you are trying to show the edges of :)

    When you touch a coin, the oils from your fingers and hands transfer to it. This is why you can see fingerprints on some coins - over time, it etches the surface. While you may not see a mark right after you've handled it, the print would show up later.
