Great choice. The Sacagawea coins is a great set to have in your collection and fairly easy to complete. Don't forget, they are still making them this year in addition to the new Presidential dollars |

I am starting to build an set of those. I bought an starter set for like 40 bucks in dansco on ebay. It was complete 2000 to 2005 on non proof coins. I need buy 2001 thru 2006 proofs to finish it aslong with 2006 and 2007 non proof coins. I thought it good deal since coins in set from 2000 to 2006 was like 35 to 50 bucks there without book. My 2000 proof came from my broken 2000 silver set. The problem I see with building sets. Its the 2001 proof dollar that cost 60 to 70 bucks just for that single coin. I hope can find good 2001 proof coin for my set . Chevrolet454ss |

The proper Native American(specifically Hidatsa) pronunciation is Sa-caga-wea(pronounced with a hard g) instead of the americanized "Saca-jawea" Also, the Goodacre Presentation coins have a special burnished finish. 5,000 were made with this finish and presented to Glenna Goodacre as payment for her design. She had them slabbed by ICG and sold ~3000 of them, keeping the rest. Edited by biokemist6

I'm pretty sure I say it correctly. However, the people around here refer to it mostly as the golden dollar.

As a former history teacher I have heard of Sacagawea for some time now, and think I pronounce the name correctly. While in Colorado Springs at an ANA event several summers ago, I met the lady who posed for the image used on the obverse of the coin. Very nice lady. My Sacagawea set, with proofs, is caught up to date, and is very attractive, I think. I just hope the coins don't discolor too much as time goes by. |

Thank you all, for your help. Now I know how to pronounce it properly. NumismattyUK, sorry mate, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Steve |

You may want to ask your local bank if they have any rolls in the vault. Many banks and the FED still have a ton of the 2000 and 2001 coins that never made it to circulation due to no demand. That was one of the primary reasons they stopped producing the coins in mass amounts.
