Roger Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 As a result of my ongoing album building of the Presidential dollar series I netted a 2012 P Grover Cleveland (1st Term) with a very light edge lettering. The edge is missing the date and the mint mark with the remaining stars and motto very week. Coin World has reported a few minus the edge lettering completely. With my find I now believe that the edge lettering machine went progressively belly up and as a result produced some coins with very light edge lettering and then some without (or visa versa). My dollar came out of a $100 mint bag purchased directly from the Mint. Anyone else with similar finds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 I don't have any of those dollars but my first thought was a worn die, just like you suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennybec Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Shortly after the Grover Cleveland (1st term) dollar came out I went to my coin dealer and bought a few Ps and Ds for myself and a fellow collector to put in our books. As I was sorting them out I noticed 1 had a completely blank edge (would have been a P mintmark.)I showed it to my dealer and he acted like it was no big deal. I had read about the 4 others in Coinworld and wondered why this one was any different. I heard the others could be worth up to 2,000 or so. I took it to a coin shop in my area and they didn't seem to care either. So I had it in a capsule and put it away til I could send it out for grading. This was around this time last year. I sent it to ANACS and it came back MS61 Missing Edge Lettering. Haven't really done anything with it since. Here are pics of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art1.2 Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 That's a great find. I have a few Cleveland dollars around but I've never checked them out. I'll do so tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
