New one dollar USA Ulysses S Grant

They just added this in the last couple days and all ready locked it all the presidential dollars come in San Fransisco mint S proof and none have it marked. Is it a different KM number or something maybe not been assigned; plus the rim lettering comes in two varieties - position A and position B  (one lettering up one lettering down). Maybe a note that there is variety - not sure if they mint certain amounts of each or not or even why they do it. Maybe to say one day a certain variety position of presidential dollar is rarer than other.

this rim variety comes with what mint letter? P, D, S or all?

I have seen both "rim varieties" on all Presidential dollar coins since 2007.  No big deal here.  I've yet to come across an American collector who cares to track them.

you mean all of the presidential dollars should have added "type A" and "type B" to all mintletter
entries? If so I would do that - and add a note to the description field in case anyone wonders.
please confirm

Yes all P and D for sure S proofs. I'm unsure if they are like that.

It appears to me all my S proofs seem to be read obverse up. I have not found position reversed; may exist but I have 16 and all are same way.

ok - thanks. I added Position A and B to all "D" and "P" entries of the presidential dollars now.
is that correct like it should be?

I've heard of blank edges occurring but never seen one personally - most commonly on George Washington maybe considered error.

I found this page about the errors on the president coins. Also about the edge A and B.

Great site! thanks. will study this one - I'd like to know now if the "no edge lettering" is mintmark
specific (hence a mint error) or applies to all (P, D, and S)

Since the mintmark is part of the missing edge lettering, it is not possible to determine which mint produced a blank edge error.

Unless you get one in a mint roll from a certain mint - then you'd know where it was produced or if it came in a proof set you'd know.

The link I posted said they were in Florida so the will be the P mintmarks.

isn't P Philadelphia? I am not so much into US mints, so --- is in Florida a US mint located, too?

The coins released in the USA East of the Mississippi river are the P minted (Philadelphia)
West of the Mississippi river they are the D mint (Denver). In time the will mix across the USA but you will still see more of the original ones that were released.

But there's no way to tell from the coin alone.  If you sent the coin to a grading service for authentication, they would have no way to tell which mint it came from.

I was reading this site
http://www.ngccoin.com/news/viewarticle.aspx?IDArticle=459
and it appears there are many errors on George Washington - from missed lettering, to noticable space gaps from the die slipping, to parts of the clad mixture missing. It appears that the obverse/reverse lettering is totally random so no way to tell percentage of which way is minted. As for the grading system to tell which mint it is on a no-edge lettering dollar, would be impossible from P to D but a no-lettering S would be obvious so they could tell if it were S letter.

I wonder if other coins which have edge lettering have this same defect random obverse/reverse reading? I've not heard of it so far and I know many coins have edge lettering; maybe someone's found it in other coins too. Why is it so random that they can't get it right - what's the explanation if other coins can do it correctly?
I know a lot of German 2 marks have the edge letterring, does this occur in them as well?

Here is a coin with two types of edge lettering:

A Numista admin could tell us what ratio of Type A to Type B edges are held in Numista member collections.
