argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 02:04 am Since the Presidential dollar coins and the post-2008 Sacagaweas have their MM on the edge, which is impossible to appreciate in folders like I use, they may as well not even have them! Hence, I've decided to forgo caring about MM on these coins as I collect them. Anyone else of like mindset? Report this Post to the Staff

basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 02:06 am I pretty much agree. I have a P&D Presidential dollar album. I'm pretty sure I put them in the right slots but if I got any of them wrong I really dont care since theres no way to really tell. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/16/2012 02:08 am I don't collect them. I do have one in my Type Set, and a Washington PDS set, but that's all. EDIT - They do make coin holders (not albums) to have the edges viewable, and pages to show 12 in a 3-ring binder. Edited by Fuzzy317 08/16/2012 02:18 am Report this Post to the Staff

GRR Valued Member United States 310 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 12:47 am Makes one wonder how these will wear. Will you be able to tell the date or MM on these in the future? Will they be like dateless buffaloes or something? Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 12:57 am I have already seen Presidential dollars with the edge so worn that you could not read the edge markings. You could tell something was there, but not read them. Edited by Fuzzy317 08/17/2012 12:58 am Report this Post to the Staff
basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 01:01 am Its kind of one of those ideas where who ever thought it was a great idea probably should have been fired Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 08/17/2012 01:09 am The portrait on the obverse can point to the correct date, but not what mint mark. FYI - the motto "In God We Trust" was on the edge the first 2 years, and its now on the obverse. Guess someone didn't think the edge was good enough.

Quote: The portrait on the obverse can point to the correct date, but not what mint mark. Which is why I have no problem collecting them by date. Also, the Native American dollars have a unique reverse each year; if they were not (the original Sacagawea), I would not collect those at all.
