I had a guy tell me one time he had, "A 1979 Silver Dollar with a chick on it" He really thought he had something. He had some gold coins too that I think had a chocolate core.

Trivia quiz. Most people know the woman is a model representing Sacajawea. (There are no contemporary pictures, so we don't know exactly what she looked like.) What's the baby's name?

The baby's name is Jean Baptiste Charbonneau. The father was a French Canadian fur trapper that joined the Lewis and Clark expedition as an interpreter.

Anyone want me to buy this for them? Only if you can deliver them to Mars. LOL Then they would be special.
