Washington Dollar Error Find in Tallahassee...

WASHINGTONS SHOWING UP WITH NO DATES IN BANK ROLLS

[Dcoin]

It was the same thing with the Sacagawea dollars in 2000. I remember people buying rolls and rolls because of some minting errors or varieties. IMHO it’s a ploy to get these coins out of the banks and into the pockets of the average American.

 

What better marketing plan than to thrown in a couple of error coins and have it make headlines around the country. It’s a good strategy and I think wholly intentional.

If that's the case and in the end there won't be many of them, then they'll be very valuable.

This will probably be the #1 error for these coins. Extra letters and missing letter will just be varieties more than likely!

He offered the bank $50 for five of the coins. It wasn't immediately clear exactly how many of the coins are circulating in Tallahassee.

 

What a Loser and a Snake!

Perhaps a stupid question, but isn't this illegal?

My wife just went and picked up 2 more rolls. We opened searched and all I found was a small chip on one of the 0's, oh yea, besides alot of scratched up coins.

I would think more unethical that illegal, but I’m no expert. Besides, those who make the rules are usually the best at bending them.

No luck here, still running 64/40 upside down or right side down,depending on your point of view.

I'm in Tallahassee. Too bad I can't sell "Tallahassee Rolls" for a premium.

I've opened one roll, all look normal.

I live in Daytona Beach, and I got two rolls from the bank. I opened them up, hoping for something like this. The only really interesting thing I found was a serious die clash, obverse and reverse. On the reverse, you can see the complete outline of George's face, including eyes. On the obverse, you can see the rays in Liberty's hat. It looks like George is wearing a studded collar (George has gone Goth!)

Even if it was done intentionally--it makes for a good conspiracy theory but I don't think it's true--why would it be illegal?
