PCGS Certifies Jefferson Dollars With Missing Edge Lettering
PCGS just certified a small group of Jefferson Dollars that are Missing the Edge Lettering. As reported in a recent front page Coin World article, these were discovered in the Midwest and were purchased by Fred Weinberg. The Mint State 68 “Missing Edge Lettering” Jefferson Dollar is featured on the cover of this issue of Mint Error News Magazine. It is the only Mint State 68 Presidential Dollar (and the finest known) that has been graded at PCGS for the entire Presidential series to date, including all mint errors and regular coins struck for circulation.
The discovery coin, which made headlines as well, was discovered in the Midwest. It recently sold on eBay for $4,050.00 and was certified MS 65 by PCGS.
