2007 Sacagaweas - Bags and Rolls

[cpm9ball]

I just ordered the bags & rolls. Will anyone else do the same in search of one w/incused lettering on the edge? Isn't PCGS offering a $10,000 reward for one?

I am not aware of this but I don't visit the PCGS website that much. I bet there will be some Sacagaweas that will get the edge lettering.

I read about it in CW.

That would be very interesting. It is not out of the question, either.

Here's one... will you get the $10K reward less the $40 grading fee for grading an error coin?

This is the first I've heard about edge lettering for the Sacs.

It could happen. Suppose a planchet intended to be a Prez dollar misses the coining chamber, but somehow moves along to the next step in the production process, the edge lettering. You must also assume that an "alert" Mint employee spots the error before it joins the rest of the properly struck coins and throws it into the reject bin. However, instead of throwing it into the reject bin, the employee mistakenly tosses it into a bin destined to become Sacagawea dollars. Voila! You now have one Sacagawea $ with edge lettering and $10,000 if you get it to PCGS before anyone else.

 

I see only one problem with PCGS' reward offer. I wouldn't be surprised if there is someone, somewhere who is skilled in engraving and machining who will attempt to replicate the edge lettering. Whenever money is at stake, it seems there is always slime oozing out of the woodwork.

Chris - Why did you by bags and rolls - You search and return

Question -- Will the 2007 Sacagaweas be the same color as before, or the same, lighter color as the presidential dollars?

 

Oh, and slightly off-topic, I bought lunch today at an outdoor Vietnamese take-out sit-outside place and paid with 6 dollar coins (3 sacs, 3 pres), and over the next hour, the woman gave them away as change. Huzzah for circulation, however minor it may be!

Mike, the Kennedy error on my sig line came from a $100 Mixed P&D bag. Out of that same bag, I also found two other business strikes that NGC graded MS68 and MS67. I also found four other halves in another bag that are a neat error progression that I think was caused by a clash. From two $25 bags of California States Quarters, I wound up with NGC grading 6 - MS68 and 25 - MS67. These are business strikes, not satin sets, and they are harder to come by in the higher grades. I know I have others that will grade equally as high, but I have never bothered to submit them. If you're wondering what I did with the rest of the coins from the bags, I still have them. Some that I set aside because they should grade high are in flips while the others are in tubes.

 

My rolls of Kennedys, States Quarters, Sacagaweas and now, the Presidential Dollars will remain unopened. It's more fun going through the bags.

They share the same planchets, so they should be the same color.

Keep me in mind if you get a couple of 68's for My Reg set

 

I did a few rolls of Washingtons but was so disgusted with the quality I stopped. Havent sent in the five I had pictured here yet - Still wainting for my MONDO submission to return. Then off goes another ...

I'll do that, but there is just one problem. What if I end up with 4 or 5 graded MS68 and they all have the edge lettering?
