Sacagaweas
Well, it appears almost noone posts here anymore. I gave up reading
here regularly when it appears that the trolls had taken over. Regardless. Does it bother anyone else that the date and mintmark were moved to the rim on the Sacagawea dollars when they started going to the changing reverse? I just recently brought my collection up to date, and for me anyway, I think they fouled up a very nice looking coin when they went to these annually changing reverses and moving the date and mint mark from the obverse. That's my rant for the evening. |

I know I always have to pop key date coins out of Whitman "thumbbuster" folders to verify proper mintmarks on the reverse ... I suppose I'd have to do that for Sackies as well, if there is ever a "key date" in that series ... -- Ken Barr Numismatics email: P. O.

I routinely get rolls of dollar coins from the bank and use them in
vending machines and general commerce. Occasionaly they include the post-2000 Sacajaweas. Recently one had the reverse commemerating horses. The 2009 issue is the only one I fine appealing. -- Please reply to: |"We establish no religion in this country, we command pciszek at panix | no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. dot com | Church and state are, and must remain, separate."

I prefer them to the Presidential dollars, though I collect those too. |

But I'm still working on that one. |

Jerry Yep, that was my moderator name. I haven't even visited that group in about 5+ years. It used to be a very active group, especially after the introduction of the States Quarters, sometimes over 100 posts in a day. RCC used to be like that too at one time. There used to be actual discussions about coins, until the juveniles chimed in. That being said, I am now expecting a response from Finnan or Reid. 8-) |

There were various reasons Usenet fell out of fashion, and the lack of social scalability of an anonymous, unmoderated forum is just one of them. I'll occasionally post stuff at Cointalk or Reddit, but I'm not all that interested in Sacagaweas. I look at them when my proof sets show up each year, shrug and that's pretty well it.
