Poet_with_a_Gun Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I took my kids to the lewis and clark days renactments and living history thing at a museum and got three minty golden sacajewa dollars as change. 2001's. Fairly cool, the ones I've got as change before are all tarnished and nasty looking. THese were very golden. Kinda nifty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustchaser Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 So sad. I feel your pain having to look at such ugly coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Non-tarnished Sac dollars are hard to come by. Last one I found was from the Post Office stamp machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I think the SACs are very attractive coins when they are fresh and have that wonderful golden color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I think the SACs are very attractive coins when they are fresh and have that wonderful golden color. Yeah, too bad after a week in circulation they turn an ugly brass bedpost color. But I really like the design, it has a few proportion flaws, but other than that it's nice looking. I still prefer the GM's liberty head version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Yes, the sacs would have been much better struck in one of the aluminum bronze alloys. That plating choice was a bad move on the part of the mint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBobo Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 That gold color becomes extremely reactive when greasy fingers are grabbing the coins out of an NJ Transit ticket machine change slot on a hot summer day. At least that was my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that was my experience. The question is, though, "Why would anyone WANT to grab one of the horrible looking things?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I actually find the design to be quite attractive, but I do have to say the Gallery Mint flowing hair design was the best concept out of all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much so! I do like the soaring eagle on the reverse though. I just think sacagawea's face looks strange....coming from an art standpoint, it's just not proportioned correctly.

Conder101 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 When they start the new presidential dollar campaign, will the Sac's be done with??? Yes, from what I've heard. No! The legislation authorizing the Presidential dollars requires them to strike one Sac dollar for every two Presidential dollars struck. Say thank you to the elected representatives of N Dakota where Sacagawea was born. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vfox Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I stand corrected then, looks like we may have a new rare issue coming out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
