<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin Lover, post: 735354, member: 16060&quot;]Haven&#039;t been around much, very busy both personally and professionally.&nbsp; Have been trying to keep up with what has been posted, doing fair with that.&nbsp; Definitely intending to attend the Fun Show in Orlando again this year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, in the little bit of free time I have to myself I have been doing some reading and research on the Sacagawea Dollar.&nbsp; I would appreciate it if it would be read and see if I&#039;m right or not, and if I&#039;ve left anything out.</p><p><br /></p><p>1.&nbsp; First &quot;golden dollar&quot; made that is gold in color, but contains no gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>2.&nbsp; First coin made for circulation that depicts an actual native amerrican on it.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure, but it might be the first coin period whether for circulation or a commemorative.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; First coin made for circulation with the obverse design having been designed entirely by a female artist (Longacre). Possibly the first coin period.&nbsp; Mrs. Fraser worked with her husband, and they together did the Oregon Trail Half Dollar Commemorative.&nbsp; I think she was also the designer of the Washington Quarter reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>4.&nbsp; First coin made for circulation that has two people on the obverse.&nbsp; The first commemorative dollar had two, but it was a commemorative even though many ended up in circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; First coin to have an infant on it.&nbsp; The OregonTrail has small children on the reverse I think, but no infant(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>6.&nbsp; First coin that was started as a circulating coin then converted to a once per year changing reverse that started in &#039;09.</p><p><br /></p><p>5.&nbsp; First coin that has an actual person on it, but had to use a model because it is unknown what the person actually looked like.&nbsp; There are no paintings or any type of actual illustrations of Sacagawea.</p><p><br /></p><p>6.&nbsp; First coin that depicts someone that was sold as a slave.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am only referring to American coins, not including foreign.&nbsp; I know none of this is earth shattering, but would appreciate any comments.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
