I too found a few '09 Native American Dollars that had that peculiar anomaly. I think I kept one or two of the more pronounced ones, but the rest I probably got rid of. Are they worth anything?<br /><br />I found two JQA, one James Madison and two Native American dollars that were missing part of their edge lettering, with deep gouges and scratches on the edge following the point where the missing lettering began. I sold the two JQA that had that defect, the first for around $60 and the second for almost $130. I still have the Madison and Native American ones. Did anyone else who is reading this find any like that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-1697258336209083792010-01-07T12:30:41.097-08:002010-01-07T12:30:41.097-08:00To the earlier poster about whether to order.

A couple that looked like leopard skin, and a few with other Presidents with misaligned letters. Even if you don't find anything fun, it will give you something to do on those snowy evenings, and it doesn't cost anything.<br /><br />I also ordered some after the hoopla, and did not get charged a cash advance fee. I ordered other items with these, so I am not 100% certain that the "cash" part of the order wasn't masked. I found 2 misaligned letters on the '09 N.A.s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-8601846091550373802010-01-06T11:03:39.941-08:002010-01-06T11:03:39.941-08:00Yeah, I love spending both dollar coins and $2 bil...Yeah, I love spending both dollar coins and $2 bills at fast food restaurants.

There has been no official word from the US Mint and nothing from any of the major coin publications or websites. I think they must have bad information or misunderstood something.<br /><br />Also, the US Mint's subscription pages for the 2010 Mint Set state that the coins will have the satin finish. <br /><br />"Has anyone had any experience with the Direct Ship Program since the changes were made to curtail the frequent flyer miles excesses? Specifically, did your credit card company treat the purchase as a cash advance with attendant charges or did it just go through as a normal credit card transaction?"<br /><br />The LA Times said that per Tom Jurkowsky of the US Mint "In the future, credit card purchases will be recorded as cash advances rather than credit card purchases."<br /><br />Nonetheless several Mint News Blog readers have reported ordering Direct Ship coins and having them come through as a regular charge.<br /><br />http://mintnewsblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/us-mint-direct-ship-program.html<br /><br />Maybe it was not possible for the US Mint to have these charged as cash advances.

Whether or not they still earn any type of rewards remains to be seen, by me anyway. I've got an order in for two boxes of the 2010 Native American Dollars. I passed on the 2001's, since I figure there is really no point in getting those until I know for sure how the transaction will be treated by my credit card bank (Chase.)<br /><br />Earning rewards on the direct ship boxes was just icing on the cake for me anyway, as my real motivation behind getting the coins was the ability to get large amounts of coins to search for errors. My banks never did receive any 2009 Native American Dollars. In fact, several of them asked me to order some of the coins FOR them, so they would have some to distribute to their customers who were asking for them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-5312858412057618122010-01-05T08:19:33.793-08:002010-01-05T08:19:33.793-08:00No brainer...If you use a credit card to purchase ...No brainer...If you use a credit card to purchase something it legally cannot be something else (ie. cash advance).<br /><br />If you think the government has enough power AND organization to make your legal purchases with a credit card turn into something else (ie. cash advance) than we need to contact Big Brother directly! <br /><br />A cash advance is when you put a piece of plastic in a machine and you ok a "cash advance" and money comes (at that moment) out of the machine into your hands.<br /><br />Check with your credit card company!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433024393760369647.post-70322935738801918562010-01-05T07:45:36.700-08:002010-01-05T07:45:36.700-08:00Has anyone had any experience with the Direct Ship...Has anyone had any experience with the Direct Ship Program since the changes were made to curtail the frequent flyer miles excesses?

They over produce coins that don't sell well to collectors and are for the most part unwanted by the public at large, so they store them for a few years. Suddenly out of nowhere, they ressurrect a large supply, and splash them for sale as tho' collectors at going to leap into the air with glee. Remember how many years those Kennedy half dollar bags were offered long after their mint date? Now it's Sac $1's, that no one wants. Try handing a fist full to a pimply faced kid at the register in your town. LOL. He'll call the sherriff in an instant. Better than that, hand a bunch to your local Walmart brain trust and watch the reaction: "Attention-security, assistance needed at register #12 A.S.A.P."<br /><br />Aside from a few widely scattered post stamp machines or a train ticketing device, no one carry's, uses, or wants them. And the Mint is doing you a favor by offering $250 worth for $250??? You know how much they weigh? LOL.
