halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 08/29/2026 10:45 am I suspect wear & tear may have claimed the edge lettering. This is an unusually well-circulated example. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21849 Posts	Posted 08/29/2026 10:51 am Could you supply the weight and diameter to two decimal places. These have sometimes been filed down to remove the lettering which reduces both. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7571 Posts	Posted 08/29/2026 12:12 pm With the amount of wear on this coin the lettering has most likely worn off, there are still some impressions of the lettering evident particularly on the last image Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21849 Posts	Posted 08/29/2026 2:57 pm That coin is light which indicates to me the edge was removed. Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1793 Posts	Posted 08/29/2026 4:13 pm I don't think the weight, by itself, in this case, determines anything. The weight is within the low end of tolerance. (7.8gr - 8.4gr) https://www.coincommunity.com/us_co...lerances.asp I just weighed several Presidential dollars, most weighed in the +/- 8.00 grams. A 2008-D Martin Van Buren, with typical circulation wear and clear edge lettering weighed 7.90. That said, I also lean towards the heavy wear and/or light sanding to have removed the lettering. The edge lettering on some coins which I have searched is extremely light - to the point that with normal circulation wear, it is difficult to see. Report this Post to the Staff
