Which would make sense because in order to get the lettered edge the Sac dollar would have to be struck and then get stuck in one of the bins they use for transporting blanks and coins around in the mint. Then that bin was later used to transport struck Adams dollars from the press to the edge lettering machine and the sac dollar got mixed in with the Adams coins and then run through the lettering press. It would then get bagged in a ballistic bag with the rest of the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>$10,000 sounds like a lot of money, but I wouldn't risk high fines, years in prison and a federal conviction on my record for a measly $10K.
