No telling how much it’s worth
From Times Wire Reports
Mary and Ray Smith can’t make heads or tails of a new presidential dollar coin they found. It doesn’t have either.
A week after the revelation that some coins slipped out of the U.S. Mint without “In God We Trust” stamped on the edge, the Smiths said in Fort Collins that they found one with nothing stamped on either side.
It does have “In God We Trust” on the edge. What’s missing is the image of George Washington on the front and the Statue of Liberty on the back. Instead, the Smiths’ coin is just smooth, shiny metal.
Ron Guth, a coin authenticator with Professional Coin Grading Service of Newport Beach, said after examining it he was certain the coin was authentic and could be worth thousands of dollars because of its rarity.
