Message:: [QUOTE="silvereagle1988, post: 328837, member: 12205"]QUOTE form Coin Stasher: The U. S. Mint states on its web site that the 2008 Sacagewea Golden Dollar rolls and bags were to have been released for purchase on 1/17/08. However, I can't find them anywhere on the site. I've checked all "Product Availability" sub-headings and "What's New" etc. Anyone have any relevant info?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The U.S. Mint is concerned that no law authorizes striking of 2008 Sacagawea dollars for sale to collectors. In a statement Jan. 28, the Mint said, "The United States Mint has determined that Public Law 110-82 does not provide to the United States Mint the authority to mint and issue 2008 Sacagawea Golden Dollars for collectors.  "However, we are providing assistance to Congress in an effort to expedite the passage of a technical amendment that will resolve the matter.  "Until such time, we will not be offering for sale our annual sets and other products that include the Sacagawea Golden Dollar."  At issue is not striking of Sac dollars for circulation, but rather examples for sale in Mint products to collectors.  Numismatic News is monitoring the situation for any developments.
