In the entire series produced “IN GOD WE TRUST” appears on the rim, on the 9th through 20th it also appears on the face of the coin, probably because of complaints of those who couldn’t find it on the rim. I’ll give $5.00 each for any of these series found Not to have “IN GOD WE TRUST” on the face or rim.

When the Presidential dollars came out I heard many comments it was the first US coin to have “IN GOD WE TRUST” or any writing on the rim, but the early half dollars had “In God WE TRUST” on the rim, it was replaced with a reeded edge in 1836 and “IN GOD WE TRUST” was placed on the face of the coin. I have several of the early half dollars.
