Date is on the edge, John Quincy Adams dollars were made in 2008.
And just as an fyi, it is not gold. It is copper with manganese brass cladding, so just gold-colored.

There are no reeds on the edge of this coin. Check the edge!  |

Maybe the date and stuff has worn off the edge though.
Checking the edge really isn't a sure fire way to find out.
If ti's spent some time vending, it will be obliterated.

As everybody else has said, the edge.  If you can't see it there, and sometimes it is difficult to read, then it may have been worn off. It is also technically possible that it was left off. That is a known variety for Washington, Adams, and Tyler and others. Edited by BigSilver

So, if the coin is sitting heads up and the rim lettering is upside down is that an error coin? Cooooop

The edge lettering isn't oriented with the obverse or reverse. It will be found both ways.

Does that mean you need both positions for a "complete" set?

They are random. Just the Proof ones have a correct position.    All the business strikes have the edge lettering added later and can be on either side. Edited by coop
