So if I am reading this correctly the new sacs will have edge lettering also?

Yes they will.  Notice how blank the obverse looks? |

Notice how blank the obverse looks? No... but I assuming you're talking about the missing date?  Otherwise it's the same as all old Sacies. |

Also the mint mark...
I just don't like empty spots on coins. In my opinion, it gives the coin a "token-like" look.

I do not like that they moved the date to the edge. I understand their reasoning, I just do not like it.

So, how many people are going to think that they got a 'dateless' error coin when they get one?!  Quote:

I love the coins with edge letters, I found a coin in Atlanta a few month ago while metal detecting it was a 1830 5 silver franc and it had edge lettering on there from 1830 is that not wild ! Let me see if I can get this image thing to work  Edited by danishdude

we should petition that they put the half back in circulation since the sac is returning

Now I'm confused, because I thought the date for the Pres. dollars was moving off the edge and back to the obverse? |

Thanks for the better info!  Still...a coin with a dated edge strikes me as odd; I cannot think of a historical precedent there. Of course, I mostly collect older coins. |

well you know the st gaudens had edge lettering I like it in a since but I would rather see E pluribus unum on edge and date and mintmark where you can see it
