This commemorative was authorized by Public Law 106-126 (which I was unable to find on-line) and signed by President Bill Clinton on December 6, 1999. From the U.S. Mint "Surcharges authorized from the sale of each coin will be divided two-thirds to the National Council of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial and one-third to the National Park Service to fund the bicentennial commemoration activities. This coin was available in both proof and uncirculated conditions."

I see you are researching the history of each of your Commemoratives . Well, I didn't want to post just a bunch of images. I thought some basic info of the release (mostly gathered from a COA or the authorizing Law) might be of interest. Commems has posted a more thorough history of all but a few of the commemoratives in my collection. Edited by mike31093

With the OGP of the coin and pouch set comes a printed insert recommending the pouch & [ Proof ] coin be stored separately as the USM couldn't speak to the effects (if any) the dyes used on the pouches might have on the coin. An example I looked at today has a pouch attributed to the Salish & Kootenai tribes found in Montana. Where might one find a listing of the Native American nations who participated in this commemorative set ? Are any pouches more valuable than others ? The 9/3/2004 Press Release: https://www.usmint.gov/news/press-r...M3go4SxY9oLWindicates "the pouches are being produced by 11 American Indian tribal nations." Pouches made by Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio were recalled as detailed by the Greater Atlanta Coin Shows Blog excerpted here: Quote:
The Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band of Ohio made some of the Handcrafted American Indian pouches included with the 2004 Lewis and Clark Coin and Pouch Sets. Though they were a member of COTA (Circle of Tribal Advisors) when selected to make the pouches, they were not officially recognized by federal and state authorities as an official Indian tribe. Furthermore, their artists were not recognized as official Indian artisans. As such, their artistry cannot be marketed as handcrafted by an American Indian under the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. Thanks in advance. Edited by cptbilly
