2009 - 2024 PDS Sacagawea Business Strike Uncirculated & Proof 48 Coin Set

Beautiful Sacagawea Dollar Set showcasing all of the business strike and proof coins in the "Native American" series to date including the 2024 coins released in the spring of 2024. This 48 coin set includes both uncirculated business strike P mint and D mint Sacagawea dollars from 2009 through 2024 (32 coins in total) and the 16 regular proof coins released with the S mint mark from 2009 through 2024.  

Most all of these coins have been available only through direct purchase from the mint.  The mint stopped trying to circulate the "golden dollars" in early 2011 as most in the US simply don't want to use a dollar coin instead of a dollar bill.  Therefore mintages of the regular business strike coins from 2012 onward are modest and some of the coins are scarce enough that they cost up to $5 a piece (especially the 2011, 2012 and 2013 designs). As well proof set sales at the mint, the only source of the proof coins in this set, have also tailed off significantly and a number of the modern proof sets now sell for significant premiums over their original issue price with proofs like the 2012 and 2016 running upwards to $20 each due to high demand and limited supply.  So this is an attractive set of coins both aesthetically but also from the standpoint that it is likely their value will continue to increase.

All coins are directly from freshly cracked US mint rolls and US proof sets, handled with gloves and never circulated.  These are nice coins! Below is a description of the coin designs:

2019  - Native American Contributions to the US Space Program

The theme of the 2019 Native American $1 Coin design is American Indians in the Space Program. Native Americans have been on the modern frontier of space flight since the beginning of NASA. Their contributions to the U.S. space program culminated in the space walks of John Herrington (Chickasaw Nation) on the International Space Station in 2002. This and other pioneering achievements date back to the work of Mary Golda Ross (Cherokee Nation). Considered the first Native American engineer in the U.S. space program, Ross helped develop the Agena spacecraft for the Gemini and Apollo space programs.

The reverse (tails) design features Mary Golda Ross writing calculations. In the background, an Atlas-Agena rocket launches into space, with an equation inscribed in its cloud. The equation, denoting the energy it takes to leave Earth and reach the orbit of a distant planet, represents her important contributions to the space program. An astronaut, symbolic of Native American astronauts, including John Herrington, conducts a spacewalk above. A group of stars in the field behind indicates outer space.

2020 - Alaska Anti-Discrimination Law

The theme of the 2020 Native American $1 Coin design is Elizabeth Peratrovich and Alaska’s Anti-Discrimination Law.  
The first anti-discrimination law in the United States, prohibiting discrimination in access to public accommodations, was passed in the Alaskan territorial government in 1945. Elizabeth Peratrovich (Tlingit nation), through her advocacy for Alaskan Natives with her husband Roy and an impassioned speech in the Alaskan Senate in support of the law, is widely credited with getting it passed.  2020 marks the 75th anniversary of Elizabeth Peratrovich’s famous testimony in support of the nation’s first anti-discrimination law.

2021 - Native Americans in the US Military

The theme of the 2021 Native American $1 Coin is Native Americans in the U.S. Military.

Native Americans have served in the Armed Forces of the United States in each of our nation’s conflicts, beginning with the Revolutionary War. They have served at a higher rate in proportion to their population than any other ethnic group. During World War I, Native Americans volunteered to fight in astonishing numbers although most were ineligible for the draft. Of the 10,000 Native Americans who served in the Army and the 2,000 who served in the Navy, three out of four were volunteers.

Native Americans have received recognition for their service, including five Medals of Honor during World War II. Their exemplary record of military service continues to this day.


2022  - Ely Parker Native American Dollar


The 2022 Native American $1 Coin commemorates Ely S. Parker, a U.S. Army officer, engineer, and tribal diplomat, who served as military secretary to Ulysses S. Grant during the U.S. Civil War. When Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Virginia, on the morning of April 9, 1865, Parker rendered the formal surrender documents in his own hand.  Designed by United States Mint Artistic Infusion Program Designer Paul C. Balan and sculpted by United States Mint Chief Engraver Joseph Menna, the reverse (tails) design features Parker, depicted in Army uniform, with a quill pen and book, along with a likeness of his graceful signature, as symbols of his experience as an expert communicator. The inscriptions “TONAWANDA SENECA” and “HA-SA-NO-AN-DA” recognize his tribe and the name given to him at birth. Additional inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “$1.”

2023  - Maria Tallchief Native American Dollar

The 2023 reverse design features Maria Tallchief in balletic pose. Tallchief was America’s first major prima ballerina, and she and her husband, George Balanchine, transformed American classical ballet. In addition to Tallchief, four other American Indian ballerinas from Oklahoma achieved international recognition in the 20th century, including her younger sister Marjorie Tallchief, Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, and Moscelyne Larkin. Celebrated as the “Five Moons,” their legacy of achievement and inclusion continues to influence ballet today. A nod to the Five Moons is presented in the lunar motif, while the four ballerinas in the background are symbolic of both Tallchief’s American Indian ballerina contemporaries and the generations of dancers they inspired. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “MARIA TALLCHIEF,” “$1,” and “AMERICAN INDIANS IN BALLET.”

2024  -  Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 Native American Dollar

The 2024 Native American $1 Coin was designed and sculpted by United States Mint Medallic Artist Phebe Hemphill. The coin's reverse (tails) features an American flag and an eagle staff, which is a symbol of honor, respect, and patriotism for American Indians. The coin's theme is the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, which granted US citizenship to all non-citizen Indians.
