Presidential dollars: the edge is part of the attribution
The date and mintmark can sit outside both face photographs.

A portrait and a shared reverse
Presidential dollars pair a named president with the Statue of Liberty. The series begins in 2007, and the edge carries the date and mintmark. IN GOD WE TRUST moves from the edge to the obverse in 2009. Record president, year, mint, finish, and the complete edge.

Missing versus unphotographed lettering
Examine the entire circumference before claiming missing edge lettering. Doubled, overlapping, partial, and weak inscriptions need their own descriptions and photographs. Damage, a cropped view, or a concealed edge in a holder cannot establish that the production step was omitted.

Choose a matching comparison
Inspect cheek, reverse high points, fields, and rims for wear and contact. Match president and exact edge attribution before applying an error premium. A certified missing-lettering coin is a different comparison from an ordinary dollar whose edge simply was not shown.

Selected reviewed issue records
These catalog standards describe the named issue, not a measured specimen. The selected records below do not cover every date, mint, strike, or die variety. Reported production is labeled separately from established mintage. Unknown standards and mintage remain visible; survival estimates and certified populations are separate research questions.
No issue-level specification or mintage records are published for this category yet. Verify the exact date, mint, strike, metal, and subtype in its reference before using a numerical standard.
