2021 Sacagawea Native American Dollar - Military design

NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Advance Releases

from San Francisco Mint 7-Coin Proof Set

The 2021 S Proof Sacagawea Native American Dollar graded by NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo with Advanced Releases designation.  70 is a perfect grade for a coin.  This coin is from the 7-Coin Clad Proof Set from the San Francisco Mint.  The special San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge label further specializes this coin and helps call to attention the coins mintage at the US Mint San Francisco Mint facility.  This is the first Sacagawea Native American Dollar with Advance Releases designation from NGC.

Each year since 2009 the Sacagawea Native American $1 Coin has featured a single year reverse design, the first U.S. Mint coin to have an annual design change.  This year’s design features eagle feathers, which were traditionally earned in battle or by performing a brave deed.  Eagle feathers are revered and respected, receiving the utmost care and handling, and are to be displayed proudly in homes.  Stars representing five branches of the U.S. Military are in the foreground, while a circle provides an additional reference to Native Americans.  Inscriptions are “NATIVE AMERICANS – DISTINGUISHED MILITARY SERVICE SINCE 1775,” “$1,” and “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

Advanced Release is the only official designation made by the US Mint.  Advanced Releases coins are coins sold to the 18 largest coin buyers from the US Mint but represent only a fraction of the coins sold by the US Mint.  To be eligible for the Advanced Releases designation NGC must have the coins before the official release date from the US Mint.  The US Mint normally provides Advanced Releases coins to the largest dealers two days before the official release, meaning they must be immediately submitted to the grading companies to receive this extremely limited and desirable designation.

Proof coins are coins that the US Mint makes differently than standard circulating coins used for change.  Proof coins are manufactured by striking the coin numerous times under increased pressure to make the field (flat portion of the coin) have a mirrored finish.  Proof coins are specifically made for collectors since they have better eye appeal than standard circulating coins. Grading companies usually annotate proof coins with either PR or PF before the number grade.  Additionally, exceptional coins will be given Ultra Cameo or DCAM (deep cameo) designation for coins where the difference between the surface of the coin’s devices and the mirrored finish of the coin’s field are very pronounced.
