    The rest of the edge lettering is "E Pluribus Unum" and "2007". The design of the Presidential dollar coins includes the edge lettering, which is randomly applied and may appear right side up, or upside down, in relation to the faces of the coin. The valuable ones are the very tiny percentage on which the edge lettering was inadvertently not applied.

    It's a "golden" dollar, with zero gold content and a base metal composition that has the yellowish color.

    BTW it's a very bad idea to hold uncirculated coins in your bare hands if you want to preserve any collector value they may have.

    Unless it is my eyes, I don't see any reeding. Anyone think, he may have something else here?:desk:

    Huh?

    The Presidential Dollars have edge lettering, as shown and described. They do not have reeded edges.
