Message:: [QUOTE="ADH, post: 970253, member: 26906"]Fyi Yea, the only set of coins to have the printing in one direction on the edge is the proof, if you find out different, then it is a mint error. So wonder how long it will be before some worker at the mint loads them in upside down? I personally do not like the Presidential coins, they come from the mint beat up. I find pennies in circulation from the 90's in better conditions. These poor guys have more bag marks than Morgans! My son works on weekends at a restaurant, and he brings the dollar coins and 50 cent pieces home for me to go through. A typical night may bring in 6. The picture I have for my site is one he brought home. I thought it was an Adams dollar error with the double edge strike, but it was George Washington. So I sent it to ANACS to certify. I do not think that they will ever get the attention of the American public like the quarters did. And the fact that they made a satin set to collect adds to the frustration as it takes too much to collect the set just for one year. To get a satin set you have to destroy to mint sets and be lucky that they are opposites (inpossible) or buy the mate from a dealer (which is what I do as you can destroy 5 sets and still not have the two positions for each coin).[/QUOTE]
