In god we trust? Error in new dollars

[javasaurus]

Quite a few of the new one-dollar coins are showing up on e-bay for $100 or more. Why? They are missing the "in god we trust" imprint on the edge. The Mint believe about 50,000 such coins made it past the inspectors.

Is this a good time for a "meh"?

DAmn. Now I gotta look at all of my new dollar coins...

I use them for the bus. It's easier than paper.

And I have fifty of them to check now...

Any other little nifty details you can tell? :)

If you have more than one, could I buy one off of you for a reasonable mark-up?
