A limited number of 2007 Washington $1 coins recently secured a place in numismatic history when a minting error omitted "In God We Trust" from the coin's edge. This omission recalls a similar minting controversy 100 years earlier.
President Teddy Roosevelt, believing that God’s name should not be placed on coinage that might be spent on immoral pursuits, ordered "In God We Trust" to be omitted from newly designed gold coins minted in 1907. The resulting uproar quickly led to a Congressional act restoring the inscription which was added in mid-1908.
The Washington Error Coins are also missing the phrase "E Pluribus Unum," the year and mint mark. Although the exact number of Washington Error Coins is unknown, they are believed to be just a fraction of the 300 million Washington $1 coins minted.
Goldline recently acquired a very limited number of Mint State 64 Washington Error Coins. Each coin has been independently certified and graded as Mint State 64 by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), one of the nation’s oldest and most respected grading services. PCGS has sonically sealed each coin in a special holder that allows easy viewing of this minting error. Further, each coin comes in its own wooden display case.
THIS ITEM IS CURRENTLY SOLD OUT.
