Owner Comments:
I acquired this coin on 5/25/2008. The NGC population is 1 of 2 with none higher as of 5/2008. This is a PCGS graded coin.
The Sacagawea dollar was authorized by Congress in 1997. The obverse was designed by artist Glenna Goodacre, using Shoshone Randy'L He-dow Teton as a model for Sacagawea. There are approximately 1 billion Sacagawea coins in circulation and about 250 million more in reserve. The United States Mint greatly reduced production of Sacagawea dollars after the 2001 minting, citing sufficient inventory. As of 2006, the dollar is still being minted for collectors, and is available in Uncirculated Rolls, Mint Sets, and Proof Sets, but has not been released for general circulation since 2001.Composition: 88.5% copper, 6% zinc, 3.5% manganese & 2% nickel.
