Bill: There is no 'primer' on these. When the Sacagawea dollar (or as I call it the Saci) was introduced, the Cheerios cereal company made a deal with the Treasury to promote them i their packages of Cheerios. Every #X (I believe every 100th) box of Cheerios had a Saci $. The others all had a cent from the same year, all were packaged in plastic wrap. Later study showed that the Cheerios' dollars were of a silghtly different design, most notably on the tail feathers, now listed in the Guide Book (red book) as "Boldly Detailed Tail Feathers". As for the Llincoln cents being different, I have never heard anything about these.
