25 Million 2008 Sacagaweas?
They minted almost 25 million 2008 Sacagaweas. That is 3 times the
normal annual production for only Numismatic sales. Has anyone seen a bunch of these released into normal circulation? http://www.usmint.gov/about_the_mint... 008#starthere |

The roles of dollar coins that I get from my bank have started to include Sackies and SBAs (for a while they were just shiny new Presidents) but the Sackies are old and tarnished. -- Please reply to: | "Any sufficiently advanced incompetence is pciszek at panix dot com | indistinguishable from malice."

Autoreply is disabled * * * | I get two boxes a week. The type of box can vary from week to week and from season to season. For example: for a while I was getting nothing but mint boxes of Prexibux, primarily because they minted a huge number of GW$ for the introduction and then started to reduce the number for each president until they reached a more sustainable level. I still get a mint rolled (4 x 10) box once in a while but mostly they are locally rolled and boxed (5 x 8). The boxes sometimes contain mint rolls of assorted presidents - presumably assembled from loose rolls from mint boxes opened up when some bank only ordered a smaller number of rolls from the armored carrier. The recirculated rolls in the boxes contain a mix of Susies, Siouxsies, and Prexibux. If the rolls were rolled in 2007, they may have been sitting and developed a dark patina and the Prexibux will be fewer and mostly GW or JA. If they were rolled recently they will have many more Prexibux. For example: last week I got one box that was obviously rolled and packed in 2007, but it still only had 15% SBA. The second box was 100% mint rolls of Madison, Jefferson, JQA and JA. This week I just picked up 2 boxes and have not searched them yet, except to see the ends and open one roll. The ends display a wide variety of Presidents including the most recent, but the roll I opened had a very worn PROOF MVB. You can tell it's a proof because of the 3 edge lettering seams where the 3 part dies come together and the remains of the frosted raised areas. Not much mirroring left on the flats. Looks like a 2008 S. I can't wait to look through the rest. By the way, for those who have not read this before, I re-roll the SBAs with the reverse showing on both ends of the rolls and I stamp the rolls: RARE APOLLO XI DOLLAR COINS FROM THE 1900's Then I spend them. |
