Sacagawea Dollars Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (2000-present)

In 2000, the U.S. Mint unveiled a new "golden" Dollar designed by Glenna Goodacre and featuring an image of Sacagawea, the young Indian girl who helped guide Lewis and Clark on their famous exploration of the American West. Tucked in a papoose on her back is Sacagawea’s infant son, Pomp. Beginning in 2009, the reverse design of the $1 coin changes to feature designs celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the history and development of the United States. Although this set is relatively new, it is already wildly popular with collectors. This is a great set for beginning collectors – the overall quality of the coins is usually nice and the bright, golden color is particularly alluring.
