Offer me this Sacagawea dollar which seems like a transition between the Susan B Anthony dollar and the Sacagawea. What do you think? Could it be a transition error? On Monday I hope to get better photos...   *** Edited by Staff to crop/rotate/resize images. In the future, Please crop, resize, and correctly orient images before uploading. *** |

Hey Murasama! This Sac dollar appears more environmentally damaged than on a SBA dollar. The Sac dollars are plain edged compared to reeded for the SBA dollars. As far as I know, there are no known mules between both coins.  Both coin types should weigh 8.1g... Edited by mrwhatisit

Given the images posted, I'm not detecting a transitional issue.

These dollars circulate heavily in Ecuador and other countries with their economies based on the U.S. dollar. My guess is it a normal but heavily circulated example.

It's normal. Just heavily circulated with environmental damage.
Errers and Varietys.

This does not appear to be a transitional metal coin. just a heavily circulated and environmentally toned dollar

Can a Sacagawea dollar that circulates very, very, very much turn completely silver without leaving any trace of its golden shine? I'm in Europe, these coins have no circulation here... I think they haven't had enough circulation to be completely colored in silver like a Susan Anthony dollar... Edited by Murasama

I don't think it is a transitional piece either, however the heavy oxidation on this coin signals a metal detector find showing the characteristics of coin that has been buried in ground for sometimes or at best victim of a fire.

Ok Suppose that the coin has a lot of wear, and even that it was buried for a long time or the victim of a fire, losing its golden color... Shouldn't it then be copper-colored and not silver?

I have gotten a couple more photos...I see the coin as too silver considering that its core is copper, I also don't see much wear on the relief to lose its golden color....   Edited by Murasama

The edge appears to be normal. I agree this is just a heavily circulated coin.
