Washington Presidential Dollar Error Coin Gallery

The Washington Presidential Dollar, the first in the series of Presidential Dollars which will be issued by the U.S. Mint at the rate of four per year until at least the year 2016, emerged from the Mint with a stupendous number of errors. Although most collectors expected that there would be an "adjustment period" while the Mint adapted to its new edge lettering process, the resulting explosion of so-called "Godless Dollars" was unprecedented in both type of error (omitting 4 major inscriptions) and scope (estimated in the hundreds of thousands by some experts.)

When you have a sizeable percentage of the population checking their new Presidential Dollars for errors, it should come as no surprise that a whole cornucopia of minting errors, major and minor, emerged in a very short period of time. This photo gallery is a tour through the best and most interesting error coin types discovered during the Washington Dollar error eruption of 2007.
