Coin and Paper Money Collecting/Sacagawea coin without date

Expert: Dan Moore - 6/17/2009


Question
I recently purchased a 2009 mint set and found that all of the coins in the set were dated with the 2009 date stamp while the Sacagewea dollar coin did not carry any date stamp...is this normal?  Is this set worth something? If so, how much do you think? Thanks-

Answer
Celeste,

They moved the date to the edge of the coin this year, so you need to check there.

If the edge is blank, you may very well have a very valuable coin -- perhaps hundreds or thousands of dollars, but the entire edge would have to be completely blank.

I hope this helps,

Dan

Expertise

My strong familiarity with all U.S. Mint coins, extensive reference library, and close relationships with many other dealers allows me to identify just about any coin made in the USA. I receive regular updates to all the current price guides -- both wholesale & retail -- to provide accurate values. So, with a good description or pictures, I should be able to identify and value any U.S. coin you have.

Experience

I've been a coin dealer since the 1980's and a coin collector since the 1960's. I specialize in U.S. Silver Coins and have an active online website -- The Working Man's Rare Coins -- http://www.workingmancoins.com -- offering information and inventory in U.S. coins.
