A New Series W/ The Indian Reverses?

Business strikes will probably be available at your local banks, but basically, as per usual, you'll be able to order them from the U.S. Mint's website.
The fact that some banks may not want these, because they have HUGE BAGS of the old Sac's.....will not be lost on a lot of banks.......AND the fact that they have lots of Presidential dollar coins that they're stuck with and can't get rid of too will/may be a factor in the availability of these new Sac's at your local bank....but I'm not sure really.

I say that the answer depends on your point-of-view and is ultimately up to you!

Personally, I consider...
...the 1932-1998 Washington quarters a complete series.
...the 1999-2008 Statehood Quarters a complete series.
...the 2009 Territorial Quarters a mini-series.
...the 2010+ National Park Quarters a new series.
...the 1938-2003 Jefferson nickels a complete series.
...the 2004-2005 Westward Journey nickels a mini-series.
...the 2006+ Jefferson nickels an new series.
...the 1909-1958 Lincoln Wheat Cents a complete series.
...the 1959-2008 Lincoln Memorial Cents a complete series.
...the 2009 Lincoln Cents their own mini-series.

I could go on. Many will include the Territorial Quarters with the Statehood Quarters. Others might want to break the Lincoln Memorials at 1982 into two distinct series!

It is really personal preference. Collect what you like, how you like!

Sorry, eaglefoot! Poor eaglefoot just wants to keep all the Sac-obverse coins in one album.

I can't blame you, but that album will keep getting bigger and heavier, with no end in sight (as of 2009). It may end up like an album with all the silver dollars from 1836 to 1935, or with all the small Cents from 1857 to the present.

Obviously, I'm all for the idea of the 2000-2008 Sac's as a nice tidy little eight-year run in an album, then start a new album for 2009-up. This applies equally if you consider the coins one 2000-up series, or two series (2000-2008, 2009-up).

Thomas D. Rogers' original reverse design looks better and better to me with the passage of time, so if anyone wants to consider the 2000-2008 coins to be the equivalent of "Wheat Cents" in a single continuing Sacagawea series, that's fine by me!

Coin World Magazine's recent article " Sacagawea dollar leaves nine-year numismatic legacy" (Dec. 22, 2008 Page 50-52) was also written with the view that Sacagawea dollars are a now-completed 2000-2008 series, with 47 coins in total (including the 'Goodacre Presentation' and 'Cheerios' types).

hey wd1040, just wondering... do you think the rolls in the mint box will be mixed P&D rolls or all from one mint? I just ordered a box myself. First time I have done so, but easier than looking all for rolls from banks. Thanks, Jim

I just read this article online and DNA has a point here. If indeed this new coins are NOT Sacs then the series has ended. From what I understand they're still using the original Sac obverse and calling these and Native American $1 coins now.

It's a bit confusing, that's what happens when the U.S. Gov't is involved, but the idea in the Coin World article is clearly stated as 2008 being the end of the Sac series.

I think the Sac Dansco goes up to 2011. If I still had that I would just put them in there and call it good! As for the new quarters, they will be on the next page in my 3 ring binder behind my statehoods :0

Three years of the new coins, to show the changes!

If Dansco agrees with the Mint and Coin World, a new album for Native American dollars will appear....

Not a first, Seated half dimes and nickel five cent pieces were both issued for circulation from 1866 to 1873. And although the Shield nickel eventually replaced the Half Dime, when it was first issued it was considered to be a temporary coin to alleviate coin shortages and that once silver coins had returned to wide spread circulation the nickel five cent would be discontinued.

As for whether or no th Native American dollars are a new series, We consider the draped bust half dollars and dollars with small eagle and heraldic eagle to each be two searate series.
