A little more info here... the machine to punch the edge lettering was adjusted in 2009 after the fiasco of the "godless" dollars in 2007 and 2008. Supposedly this change would ensure that no edge lettering would be omitted, at the cost of weak lettering.
All circulation strike $1 coins after 2009 have very weak lettering as a result of this adjustment.
