The 'firsts' are only accorded the Anthony dollar, issued to honor Susan B. It's amazing that a coin that incurred so much scorn could still be such a trendsetter in its own way. The United States Mint made Susan B. Anthony dollars for only four years (1979, 1980, 1981, and 1999). Frank Gasparro designed both the obverse and the reverse. Government officials hoped the smaller coin would take the place of the paper dollar in circulation and save money. The history of the Susan B. Anthony dollar, also known as 1979 one-dollar coin, has plenty of ups and downs, as does its demand within U.S. Coin collecting. Although it was not valued at the beginning by collectors or the public that were supposed to use it, with time it has become a piece that cannot be missing in any modern coin collection.

The Sacagawea dollar, along with the Presidential Dollar series, is one of the two current United States dollar coins. This coin was first minted in 2000 and depicts th woman Sacagawea, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Originally, since there was no known portrait of Sacagawea, the committee that chose Sacagawea for the coin specified the figure as Liberty depicted as a Native American woman inspired by Sacagawea. Sacagawea dollars began being minted in 2000. These coins were made to replace the unpopular Susan B. Anthony dollar coins which were often confused with quarters because of their similar size, similar ridged edge, and identical color. To remedy this problem, Sacagawea dollars were given a smooth outside edge and distinctive gold color which made it the only gold-colored coin in the United States that was circulating at the time.We offer Sacagawea Dollars in Singles, Rolls, and as a complete set including the proofs coins that come from US Proof Sets.
