Jefferson Presidential Dollar Errors?

Hey I just bought a few rolls of the Jefferson Presidential Dollar - P Rolls ... I never can find the Denver Rolls at the bank ... anyway, after going through a few rolls I found that some of the Jefferson Coins had really weak edge lettering ... fading "In God We Trust" ... sometimes with trust not even on the coin itself... I need to figure out how to use my camera but this is the best picture I could do... is this an error?




I also noticed that on 3 of the coins there must have been a die crack by Jeffersons eyes or something because the sides of his nose and eyes seemed to shine like a proof coin would ... literal perfect reflection like no other part of the coins ... maybe overpolishing? is this any error?

yes and yes although how much they will be worth is anyone's guess however if the "trust" is misisng it might be worth more as opposed to lightly inscribed

 

well the way it is realy is that it is extremely lightly inscribed and some of it so light that you can barely see it at all .. even with the loop ... are these weak imprints a confirmed error, because if they aren't I'll just put them back in the rolls and get my money back... i have at least 100 with weak imprints... i bought half a box

 

i have the same thing

 

i would wait for a few days and see what ebay/coin world are saying then depending on it i would either getit graded or cash out. the good point is it cost you a dollar so you wont lose out

 

how did you get your pictures so clear? i couldnt get mine that clear? ...yeah I figured I will wait a few days .. but were the previous coins with that such as the washington and adams considered an error? and what about the error at the eyes?

 

lol getting all of those graded would cost me a fortune ... i have about 100 weak edge lettering and i found about 50 eye errors

 

well then sell of a few on ebay and with the money u get get some graded then sell those since u have a 100 i would put one on ebay to see what the response was for the no trust lettering

 

Sorry for posint 100 times but it wont let me edit my posts ..

I put one up on ebay using rosewells picture since mine wasn't so good

I hope you dont mind. Let's see how it goes.

 

i just kept pushing the button lightly to focus on macro setting,it took a few times but its an inexpensive camera


rftbunny,
you should ask first,and unless you state that it is not the coin you would get it is fraud,so you should use your own picture

 

i have an olympus with macro as well but im not sure how to use it.. sometimes it focuses in perfect and then it shoots at the last second and its all blurry

 

i think he should share his profits with yo for using your picture. that would sweeten the pot

 

since i have so many of them i would send you a coin for free but you already have them :smile

 

lol there are already 3 watchers on the coin it was listed 10 minutes ago lol

 

probably people from here, to see the outcome,you can use the picture but please add disclaimer.

 

you can send one to me then

 

lol we'll see how the ebay auction goes and wait a few days as well to get information ... if it turns out well i guess I can send one =] but your paying shipping lol

 

The weak edge letters are caused by the distance between the roller (which forces the coin against the edge die) and the edge lettering die being set too far apart. This results in a lower pressure and the letters aren't forced into the coin.

The feature around Jefferson's eyes is not caused by a die crack. You got it on your second guess, it is a result of overpolishing of the dies. The deepest recesses of the design are created by some of the highest point on the die. If the die is overpolished the fields will be ground down far enough that the polishing lap will also make contact with those high points in the design as well and they will start being ground down as well. It is what created those flat polished areas between the eyes and the nose.

 

we have a deal
