Quote: in general, I think that we need to rename the topic something like "stupid questions about the history of US coinage" (We need to work on the title). I changed it, tell me if you like it. I can change it to something better if you want. Quote:
Therefore, the only question remains where the figure 1250 comes from, when on the very page of the pcgs dedicated to 1913 type 1 the figure is 1520, it is probably an error or a proofreader's error. A simple transposition error seems plausible! |

It's a good headline. He conveys the whole essence of the topic.

I have more questions. Questions about Sacagawea dollars1. ....original reverse design featuring 12 tail feathers. Circulation strikes from other mints have 13 tail feathers. Is there a photo where you can clearly see which feathers need to be counted and where is the fine line between 12 and 13 feathers? 2.Has anyone ever seen a 2000-W gold coin? Do they exist? Where are these remaining 12 coins? The article says that in 2001 they were sent to Fort Knox. 3. What is the story behind the GOODACRE PRESENTATION. I read that he she asked to pay be paid for his her work ($5,000) with Sacagawea coins. Edited by Slerk

nss-52, thanks for the links. I found the answer to my first question on the Numist. It turns out I was counting the wrong feathers  . |

I don't want to create another topic, but I have a question. Why is the Sacagawea dollar attributed to the same group both before 2009 and after 2009 (when they began to depict the plots of indigenous peoples)? Yes, the obverse is the same, but it seems to me that these are completely different types of coins, is this such a clever way to reanimate stillborn coins? |

Before 2009 they are Standard circulation coins
2009 and after they are Circulating commemorative coins.
If that's what you mean

Yes, that's what I mean. Wouldn't it be more correct to classify them into two different types?

Well no because the coin still has the image of Sacagawea on it.

I feel the same way about the Washington quarter, which ended in 1998 and was replaced with new thematic quarters (Statehood, DC, Territories, National Parks, Women) that just happened to still have Washington on them. |
