How do you collect them? Do you collect both the position A & B types (edge writing facing up or down) or do you collect just one from each mint regardless of the edge writing? Jim
Yes I collect them. I collect by date and mintmark. I really hated it when they put the date and mintmark on the edge of the Presidential dollars.
Yes me too! now on the side of the indian dollars, why? the front looks like it is missing something!!
I haven't started collecting these, but I am thinking about starting a presidential coin collection for my kids.
I collect the proof coins and then get one from a bank roll to put in my album - then go spend the rest . I like the edge lettering.. looks cool and it's different.
I buy the "A" and "B" types of both P & D mints. BTW, do proofs have the edge lettering both ways, or only one way?
Never really thought about it, but according to http://presidentialdollarguide.com/presidential-dollar-error-coins/
man i hate what the mint is doing to my OCD with the satin coins... it used to be easy to collect P&D, just break up a mint set! now i need to go find my "p" coins from other sources. gargh! In my case i have an album of presidential $ P&D that is business strike. A second set of albums that are P&D plus Proofs, those albums get the satin finish (and proofs)
Right now I'm only collecting each design, because the brilliant minds at Whitman decided to make an album like that. I should have looked closer before I bought. On top of that it's made in China. How disappointing.
I have Dansco for both the Prez's and the Sacs. I order extra Mint sets and proof sets to fill the holes in my Danscos. I also buy the FDI's for the Prezs, slabbed.
Thank you! I feel all the economic stimulous bills in the world won't do a thing to improve our economy if nobody buys American goods. Here's where I start! P.S: Did you know you can buy an American flag made in China? There really ought to be a law...
