2000-2009 Sacagawea Dollar Proof Set

The Sacagawea Golden Dollar was first minted in 2000 and is America's first golden coin as well as the first circulating coin to feature an identifiable Native American. This collection includes the complete set of coins for each of the nine years of production from 2000-2008. It is a complete date collection that features 9 coins. Since the United States Mint has changed the reverse design in 2009, it truly is a complete set. Beginning in 2009, the reverse design will change each year to celebrate an important contribution of Indian tribes or individual Native Americans. This collection includes the very first Native American Dollar, bringing the entire number of coins to 10.

Sacagawea was the Native American guide who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804-1806 on their quest to find a route to the Pacific Ocean. Without her knowledge of the land, the expedition would have failed, and America's westward expansion would have been delayed for many years. The coin depicts Sacagawea with her baby, Jean Baptiste, on her back.

The reverse of the coin features an American eagle in flight, as well as 17 stars. This unusual number of stars symbolizes the 17 states in the Union at the time of Sacagawea's journey with the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Each coin is protectively encased in a clear plastic holder, and the collection is displayed in a custom presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
