Question
I might be worng but I have the new Geo. Washington dollar coin. There is no "in god we trust" enscribed on the coin. Is this a misprint?
Hi Mike,
The coins were designed with "In God We Trust", "E. Pluribus Unum" and the date and mint mark inscribed into the rim of the coin.
If you have what is known now as a PLAIN EDGE dollar, one that doesn't have the edge inscribing, your coin could be worth a few hundred dollars. Check eBay for current pricing.
Regards
Joe Hylas
