My fascination with the manganese Presidential and Sacagawea dollar blanks are one reason I have been tracking blanks. I cannot figure out why these types are still showing up in Mint rolls. The Mint requires that these blanks go through two striking procedures. Then, how do these miss two processes? Where are the blanks with “edge lettering”? Now that the struck coins go directly to the edge lettering machines, why are “no edge lettering errors” being found? Manufacturing procedures have been known to be bypassed.
