A rare Sacagawea dollar…

A heavily circulated one.

An engineer I work with carried it in his pocket for a few years. I traded a new Andrew Jackson dollar for it.

It’s neat to see how the coin has worn. What do you thing it will grade as?:eating:

circulated sac dollar

first time i saw a sac dollar really being used. look great. i grade then very good as far as condition is used.

 

Wow... I don't think I'll ever see anything like that ever again...

 

Wow, I agree, VG? Do they even have standards for them that low? Nice! :thumb:

wow, that looks terrible

 

First one I've seen in that condition! A genuine condition rarity!

 

Send it to PCGS. It would be the only Sac slabbed in that grade.

 

wow is right, it actually looks... good, I say F15 I would send it away too

 

a killing can then be made on the bay

 

SGS will grade it an AU 58*

I agree with that comment. I'd keep it, you really don't see those. I honestly think that coin looks pretty nice with circulated...one could say it "ages gracefully" while many modern coins don't.

 

VERY GOOD (VG-8) - Well worn with main features clear and bold, although rather flat.
GOOD (G-4) - Heavily worn, with design visible but faint in areas. Many details are flat.
ABOUT GOOD (AG-3) - Very heavily worn with portions of lettering, date and legend worn smooth. The date may be barely visible.

Based on these ANA grading standards, I'd say the obverse is AG at best, and the reverse is AG-G at best.

 

Hard to say, this coin was a struck through grease error. Difficult to tell how much of the detail was on the coin originally, but from what I see I doubt if it had the detail of a VF when it was new.

 

i would guess it spent some time down in Ecuador

if those who dont know that the US dollar is the national currency for Ecuador

here is a couple links on this - there are many more on it

That is an amazing lowball Oftenwrong. I currently am trying to get a 2000P Sac dollar graded that I feel is in the VG range.

 

Great for a low ball set

 

Over the past couple of years I go to the train station about once a month or so and buy a 10-cent bus transfer from the machine with a $20 bill. Get 19 dollar coins and change back. I've put together a complete set of lightly circulated SBA, Sac and Presidential dollars (the meant for circulation coins, but also have run across a few for collectors only and a proof presidential). Easier for me than annoying a teller at the bank!

Spend the non-keepers buying lunch, etc.

 

Oftenwrong ain't been seen in these parts for over three years.......

 

I would start a type set of Sac's with a grade of VG-8. It would definately be a difficult set to complete. Try finding a 2012 SAC in VG-8.

 

2012 SAC were only issued in collector sets, not for circulation, right?
