I got my 1st in hand 2010 Sacagawea Dollar last night from my brother who recieved some as payment during a buisness trip to Florida. I must say that that the Reverse is very nice IMO and the overall coin is much improved from the bland 2009 design. I am still in favor of the origional Reverse that portrayed one of my favorite eagles of the modern coins but the 2010 is nicer than I had expected.
Prefer the 2009 SAC I Prefer the 2009 SAC. Reminds me of Spring planting...and I could use a little Spring right now. And thanks for the great link, Grizz.
I got 5 rolls at the dedication ceremony in NYC and I can't find the nerve to spend them. As I said before, I think it is a beautiful design. I put them on EBay.
I love both the 2009 and 2010 reverse designs. I just wish the date was on the front instead of on the edge. I've been spending the 2010 coins for a few weeks now after getting some via the Direct Ship program.
I have been thinking about getting some from the direct ship program, and then going on a toot and using them for toot money.
IVe been spending mine i got from the direct ship program I might keep a few but to me it's not worth it to keep all of them or sell them on ebay. The profit margin now is very,very small, with getting them from the mint in the direct ship program. Anyone can get 20 boxes ($5000) for face value. What might be worth it time is the yellow wrapper rolls of these from the mint ?
I got a shippment from the direct ship and have gone through about half of them for better quality coins to keep but have only found 1 that wasn't scratched up or the edges bent. I do not like the edges having all the info since most of the ones I got have rolling on the edges. I am having a ball using them though!
I really like the direct ship program. I don't have to buther the local bank for dollar coin rolls in addition to cent and half rolls. Eventually they get annoyed! Anyway, people around here are finally getting used to the dollar coins, and like seeing one they haven't come acrossed yet.
